  • I need someone to take some joy in something I do
    You need a man who's either rich or losing a screw
    You know I love you here's the irony
    You're going to walk away intact
    I think you never liked me anyway
    You like yourself and you like
    Men to kiss your arse
    Expensive clothes
    Please stop me there
    I think I'm waking up to us
    We're a disaster
    You don't want to know me
    'cause you move in circles of the brave
    Where art defines their lives

    She was the one love of my life, and I let her go
    And if I look like death today
    Then please let her know
    I never wanted to do harm to her
    I only wanted her to see
    The beauty of the world surrounding her
    But when she opened up her eyes
    It's much too late
    Our chance has gone
    She's with a guy
    Who takes the price for everything I ever showed her
    Digging all the fun
    Because she's older
    I fed her with a spoon
    I made her mother smile
    I helped the kid survive

    She was the one love of my life
    She showed me the road
    I loved her dog, her steady gaze, the chapter is closed
    I always wanted all the best for her
    The best thing was to stay away
    She grew up and she left the rest of us
    And now the understanding's gone
    I haven't changed, how could I
    I'm pretty much the same person
    I cannot keep the anger hidden anymore
    But lucky for you, you are not around
    My anger turns to pity and to love
    The season has arrived
    The season has arrived Writer/s: CAMPBE, CHRISTOPHER GEDDES, ISOBEL CAMPBELL, MICHAEL COOKE, RICHARD COLBURN, SARAH MARTIN, STEPHEN JACKSON, STUART MURDOCH
