1. Martha Martha, Martha I'm taking back the things I left behind Martha, Martha You can't take back the things that you can't find I didn't notice you until They put you up on a pedestal Instead of there on my window sill I know it will be a bitter pill Martha, Martha Look behind you there's an open door Martha, Martha But you can't lift your wings up anymore I didn't realize I knew A part of me is a part of you And once it's gone, it's gone for good I knew it would be gone for good 2. Here Come The Lackeys Ignore the man behind the curtain Here come the lackeys He can act like Richard Burton Here come the lackeys They take orders, not advice Take the Fifth and take their price They're not men, and they're not mice Here come the lackeys Guinea pigs for pet or palate Here come the lackeys Put your tribute in the ballot Here come the lackeys When will voters ever learn No deposit, no return Take your piece and take your turn Here come the lackeys Here they come, here they come Here come the lackeys If you start catching on They'll invent some new Iraquis. Make believe that your vote matters There’s just one team with different batters. When will voters ever learn No deposit, no return Take your piece and take your turn Here come the lackeys Here they come (here come the lackeys) 3. Invisible Ink You state your case with such conviction I wonder if it's fact or fiction You're always ready to say what you think And you sign your name in invisible ink You say that you'd die for what you believe in As long as it follows public opinion You grab the hemlock and take a drink And you sign your will in invisible ink You can laugh all you want Or cry in your beer But I'll never know whether what I hear Is you being you or you being insincere You think that life's a game of stances Made to take your best advantage Just go on living with a nudge and a wink And you'll drown yourself in invisible ink 4. Life Begins (Whenever You Go Away) Well, I don't really care if you're with him And you don't have to tell me just where you've been You know it doesn't matter Because I'll get the better Of you no matter what you do or say 'Cause life begins whenever you go away Well, you took me by the hand and led me to a noose And I don't want to hear what's your excuse It's not that you're forgiven It's just that I'll keep on living My life no matter what you do or say 'Cause life begins whenever you go away It doesn't make a difference What someone does to me Because I choose the life I live And who I want to be you see Life begins whenever you go away 5. Selective Memory He's crying and now she's gone First time the T.V. isn't on He never would just respond But now it's a tragedy You see what you want to see in your memory. You're looking the other way Forgetting the things you used to say You're living a yesterday That could never really be Selective memory is what you see I don't think that you are even pretending Maybe you just blocked it out of your mind It's easier when it's ending To forget what it ever was It's funny how you're defending The way that it never was You're thinking but it's too late You'll never admit it wasn't great You'd much rather recreate The way it would never be Selective memory has set you free Your memory has set you free 6. Mary Alice I was walking down the street one day Thinking 'bout the things I'd like to say But it doesn't matter-it's okay She never listens anyway CHORUS Who can it be, who can it be Who can it be who's calling me? Mary Alice, please won't you tell us What is going on inside your head I know I need you and don't believe you When you say get someone else instead I saw a person in my mind The girl I thought I'd never find But when I found her she was more Than I had ever bargained for CHORUS When I saw you , I knew it must be true That I would do anything you want me to CHORUS 7. Leventhitis 8. 5 Minutes Before It's Friday night and excitement's high The kids are standing all in line tonight They come to see a band who's best At playing what they know will rest Quite well with the average kid Who's paying five at the door Not even trying to ignore The fact that they've just heard the song CHORUS Five minutes before (on the radio) Five minutes before (on the radio) Five minutes before on the radio The show's sold out again this week The kids are turned out on the street again Why do they think the band's so great When they don't even hesitate To admit it's just a scheme For putting bodies on the floor The kids are screaming more and more To hear what they've already heard CHORUS It's not the lack of originality That bothers me It's the mediocrity of kids who'd rather Hear a human juke box play When the record sounds better anyway 9. It Isn't Always Mine Well, I thought you might be adding To the party I was having So I went ahead and called you on the phone Even though you were excited I said you were invited Well, you never brought a present of your own And even though you might think, "All I gotta be is me." That doesn't mean that you can't take responsibility And if you lay it on the line It isn't always mine Well, even though my friends adored you From the moment that they saw you That's not a good excuse to keep you 'round Go ahead and wear your lampshade Make believe you understand They'd see right through you If they bothered to look down And even though they might think That you're right in every way That doesn't mean you're right 'Cause you make believe and say It's my fault every time When it isn't always mine You always went too far When there really was no need Your problems never are As bad as they could be It doesn't matter that you've parted 'Cause you know the party started Long before you set your foot inside the door And when I close the door behind you I doubt that I will mind you aren't here Just like I didn't mind before And even though you might think I believed your little song You were singing to yourself I knew that all along You were handing me a line When you knew it wasn't mine And it isn't always mine 10. Outdoor Café The summer's nearly at an end The children will go back to school again They don't care what happened in Madrid As if they ever did Graffiti on the castle walls But no-one sees it in the market stalls They're too busy, families must get fed Who worries about the dead? CHORUS And old men watch the years go by Floating day to day Things are as they always are In their outdoor cafe A poster in the Orange Square The couples passing by don't see it there They don't think of changing history Just winning the lottery The politicians always fight And argue over who is wrong or right A thousand Francos all have come and gone But life keeps going on CHORUS 11. (I Don't Want To Need) Someone Like You Here it goes again, it never ends This talking to myself It echoes through my brain at night And twists my mental health So I lay awake and contemplate The knots that you've ensured So why can't I just speak my mind By showing you the door? CHORUS Go away, away is the only thought That I've been knowing And all I want to say is I think it's time that you were going But it will never be With each opportunity I'm blowing I don't want to need someone Need someone like you And if you could only see yourself You'd feel the same way too So I try my best to get some rest But it's so hard to do When alibis go through my mind But hey, that's nothing new So I turn my head to you in bed And then I speak my piece 'Cause it don't matter what I say If you are sound asleep CHORUS I'll say it all tomorrow And so free I'll walk away But the morning always comes And then excuses I will make for my delay CHORUS 12. Gray Area Don't tell me what is false, don't ask me what is true I've found that in reality neither one will do 'Cause left is never really left, Nor right completely right And nothing in the world is black or white Don't say you know for sure the one and only norm Life is never like a book-it can't just fit a form So don't believe in all the facts exactly as they're told 'Cause nothing ever really fits the mold CHORUS You can say that things are absolute To the point of hysteria But saying that doesn't change the fact That we're living in the gray area Don't think you're sure Just what is wrong and what is right 'Cause night turns into day you know And day turns into night So never ask the questions Unless you want to know The answer's never only yes or no CHORUS 13. I'd Give Anything I'd like to tell a tale Of friends you know who never fail To hurt you and let you down Make you feel you've played the clown CHORUS And I would give anything Yes I would, I'd give anything If I could, I'd give anything Just to know it wasn't so You say they're all the same You've only got yourself to blame For trusting until the end Being fooled again and again CHORUS You'd break your back for them it's true Hoping they'd do the same for you Instead they're making you look and feel so small Can't you see for you they never cared at all It's sad to see you've earned A lesson you thought you'd never learn For next time you might believe When someone says you're so naive CHORUS |
