Another Nail In My Heart

The case was pulled from under the bed
She made a call to a sympathetic friend and made arrangements
The door was closed, there was a note
I couldn't be bothered, maybe I'll choke, no more engagements
With where-have-you-beens and far away frowns
Trying to be good by not being 'round
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
That stupid old bug that kills only love
I want to be good, is that not enough
So play me the song that makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart
Then play me the song that makes it so tough

Another Nail For My Heart
I had excuses, those little boy lies
That she computed by watching my eyes and told me firmly
She couldn't stand it, I'm bad on her heart
She dropped her make-up and I found the bar, now it concerns me
I've had a bad time, now love is resigned
I've been such a fool, I've loved and goodbyed
So here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart

Clean Clean

Pogo Johnny kicked me in the head,
Aimin' for the floorboards but they picked me up instead
Through the ringing of the night before
Said, 'the engines running gotta pay a call'

Johnny drove the halftrack
'Cause we could not find the jeep
Wake me in the morning gotta get some sleep
Driving all night out of fear
Got in the ribs every time he changed gear

I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team
Gonna go where we've never been
I'm gonna, take a ride gonna pick up the team
(Pickin' up, pickin' up the team)
God you know how it's hard to keep the fighting clean
Clean clean
Clean clean
Clean clean

Pogo Johnny gonna fight the war
Chaplain in the morning at the local liquor store
Pogo coughin' bad from diesel fumes
Johnny tell the chaplain go and polish his tombs

Lying on the wasteground with a blanket on his face
Indicating that he's left the human race
Helmet open where the world came in
Gotta keep your head if you wanna win

I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team
Gonna go where we've never been
I'm gonna, take a ride gonna pick up the team
(picking up, pickin' up the team)
God you know it's hard to keep the fighting clean
clean clean
clean clean
clean clean
clean clean

Squad, quick march! Squad Dis-miss!

Clean clean
Clean clean
Clean clean
Clean clean
Clean clean

Lost a million in our very first attack
Clean clean

Don't you worry cause you know we'll get them back

Clean clean

Lost a million in our very first attack

Clean clean

Don't you worry cause you know we'll get them back

Love Plus One

I, I went off to the right
Without saying good goodbye
Where does it go from here?

Is it down to the lake I fear?

Ay ay ay ay ay ah
Ay ay ay ay ay ah

Then I call
Ring, ring, ring, ring

La la love plus one
Ring, ring, ring, ring
When I call love

Give love some soul
If I may be quite so bold
Where does it go from here?

Is it down to the lake I fear?

Ay ay ay ay ay ah
Ay ay ay ay ay ah

Then I call
Ring, ring, ring, ring
La la love plus one
Ring, ring, ring, ring
When I call love
Love plus one

Call Me

Face to face

My reflection in your eyes

I was scared to say too much

Perfect strangers in perfect worlds apart

Almost close enough to touch

Staring at my shoes

Feeling so confused

Shot down without a gun

Victim of a hit and run

Won't you...

Call me - call me

No time to hesitate - we must communicate

Call me - call me

Won't you call this number nowwwww

Mesmerised

I go back to where we met

A reconstruction of the crime

I can't track you down

Nowhere to be found

Now my one shot at success

Is the power of the press

Won't you...

Call me - call me

No time to hesitate - we must communicate

Call me - call me

Won't you call this number nowwwww

Worlds apart - we are worlds apart

Watch this space

There's a message here for you

No need to read between the lines

I am inside out

There can be no doubt

I want you and no-one else

Please identify yourself

Call me - call me

No time to hesitate - we must communicate

Call me - call me

Won't you call this number nowwww

Crystal Clear

You need a friend someone to say
Get your act together
And in between they'll have to stay
Around to kiss it better
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh

Everybody's sad (everybody's sad)
Wipe away a tear
And I'm making it all
Crystal clear

Oh say it's true yeah I need to
Believe in what I'm seeing
I want to scream you know what I mean

I'll show you how I'm feeling

Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh

Everybody's sad (everybody's sad)
Wipe away a tear (wipe away a tear)
And I'm making it all
Crystal clear

Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh

Everybody's sad (everybody's sad)
Wipe away a tear (wipe away a tear)
And I'm making it all
Crystal clear
You need a friend someone to pray
Take away the pressure
And in the end they'll have to stay
Around to make it better

Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh

Everybody's sad (everybody's sad)
Wipe away a tear (wipe away a tear)
And I'm making it all
Crystal clear

Everybody's sad (everybody's sad)
I gotta get out of here (gotta get out of here)
And I'm making it all
Crystal clear

Breaking the Chains

Sit there thinkin'
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change
Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains

Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves me
She'll come back
She wants to try
I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She'd been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
20 times a year
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive
I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains

Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone)

I can't tell you, baby, what went wrong
I can't make you feel what you felt so long ago
I'll let it show
… I can't give you back what's been hurt
Heartaches come and go, and all that's left are the words
I can't let go
… If we take some time to think it over, baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really want to go
… Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
Just this song

And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long
… I can't feel the things that cause you pain
I can't clear my heart of your love, it falls like rain
Ain't the same
… I hear you calling far away
Tearing through my soul, I just can't take another day
Who's to blame?
… If we take some time to think it over, baby
Take some time let me know
If you really wanna go
… Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone)
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
Just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long
… Do you wanna see me beggin' baby
Can't you give me just one more day?
Can't you see my heart's been draggin' lately?
I've been lookin' for the words to say
