Lonely faces all along the way
Broken city all dressed up in gray
In the rain outside the restaurant
I make money but I still feel broke
I start drinking and I want a smoke
Doing doughnuts in the parking lot
Driving fast moving cars and drinking
Old in these bars and thinking I could
Paint all those stars
Empty bottles on an empty stage
End of story on the final page
Of a book that no one knows about
This is it this is my last goodbye
This is where my dreams go to die
In the trash behind the record shop
I'm driving fast moving cars and drinking
Old in these bars and thinking I could
Paint all those stars
Singing old timey songs and thinking I could
Right all these wrongs and drinking 'til the
Pain is all gone
After all this time I still believe
With a few tricks hidden up my sleeve
In the sun way down in Mexico
She Says Don't Miss Me lyrics -The Clarks
She is sitting all alone but he sent flowers
All alone she sits there thinking this is not right
She questions all her thoughts at home for hours
He offers nothing in return for her to sit tight
Her dreams are tired and bound
Her stars are all falling down
I won't make a sound
She just sleeps right through the day when the suns up
Never knowing how to finish her dreams
All her friends will go away when she wakes up
She won't need them when there's something to believe in
The nighttime isn't so kind
Too many truths there to find
I won't change her mind
She says don't miss me
I will be alright
Because I'm not alone
I will be alright
She says don't leave tonight
She wonders why it's not right
She sees her visions in flight
I will hold on tight
I won't give her a fight
She says don't miss me
I will be alright
Because I'm not alone
I will be alright
All alone she sits there thinking this is not right
She questions all her thoughts at home for hours
He offers nothing in return for her to sit tight
Her dreams are tired and bound
Her stars are all falling down
I won't make a sound
She just sleeps right through the day when the suns up
Never knowing how to finish her dreams
All her friends will go away when she wakes up
She won't need them when there's something to believe in
The nighttime isn't so kind
Too many truths there to find
I won't change her mind
She says don't miss me
I will be alright
Because I'm not alone
I will be alright
She says don't leave tonight
She wonders why it's not right
She sees her visions in flight
I will hold on tight
I won't give her a fight
She says don't miss me
I will be alright
Because I'm not alone
I will be alright
Gypsy Lounge lyrics - The Clarks
My sometimes lady
Call her sexy Sadie when she comes around
She dances for me
I spend my twenty when I roll through town
I think I'll be leaving
There's no one here I have not been
There's no more believing
I'm only saved 'cause I'm tired of sin
And every day when the sun goes down
Every way when her walls come down
My baby dances at the Gypsy Lounge
This drunked-up trucker
He tried to luck here into going down town
Smashed his kneecap
House's ball bat a fifth of Crown
I think I'll be leaving
There's nothing here I have not seen
There's no more believing
That nothing comes like in between
And every day when the sun goes down
Every way when her walls come down
My baby dances at the Gypsy Lounge
Call her sexy Sadie when she comes around
She dances for me
I spend my twenty when I roll through town
I think I'll be leaving
There's no one here I have not been
There's no more believing
I'm only saved 'cause I'm tired of sin
And every day when the sun goes down
Every way when her walls come down
My baby dances at the Gypsy Lounge
This drunked-up trucker
He tried to luck here into going down town
Smashed his kneecap
House's ball bat a fifth of Crown
I think I'll be leaving
There's nothing here I have not seen
There's no more believing
That nothing comes like in between
And every day when the sun goes down
Every way when her walls come down
My baby dances at the Gypsy Lounge
You Know Everything lyrics - The Clarks
You lift me up to knock me down
But I don't want to play your game
I'm giving back this thorny crown
And there'll be no one else to blame
I used to think you had a heart
Then you picked up that poison pen
I should have known right from the start
That all good things come to an end
I'm not gonna waste my precious time
I know I'm never gonna change your mind
Cause you know everything
You know everything
You know everything
You hung my pictures on the wall
But nothing in this world is free
Now you won't even catch my fall
It's murder in the first degree
I've been torn up I've been knocked down
That's all you ever meant to do
You've taken back your thorny crown
Now you be me and I'll be you
But I don't want to play your game
I'm giving back this thorny crown
And there'll be no one else to blame
I used to think you had a heart
Then you picked up that poison pen
I should have known right from the start
That all good things come to an end
I'm not gonna waste my precious time
I know I'm never gonna change your mind
Cause you know everything
You know everything
You know everything
You hung my pictures on the wall
But nothing in this world is free
Now you won't even catch my fall
It's murder in the first degree
I've been torn up I've been knocked down
That's all you ever meant to do
You've taken back your thorny crown
Now you be me and I'll be you
Take Your Time lyrics - The Clarks
Know what you're feeling
It's all so real to you
Through your glass ceiling
You can't see the sky
Your angels have fallen
Your faith reads like fiction now
Your demons keep calling
And you let them inside
Time is on your side
And you won't run and hide forever no
You're gonna let it go
Oh yeah
You're down upon your knees
But time is all you need to make it through
And you're gonna make it through
Oh yeah...take your time
The mirror is broken
Your pieces are everywhere
You gather them hoping
Just leave it behind
Your down upon your knees
But time is all you need to carry you
Don't let it bury you
Oh yeah...Take your time
You can't see it
But the pain that keeps dragging you down
Is the buried treasure you've found
It's all so real to you
Through your glass ceiling
You can't see the sky
Your angels have fallen
Your faith reads like fiction now
Your demons keep calling
And you let them inside
Time is on your side
And you won't run and hide forever no
You're gonna let it go
Oh yeah
You're down upon your knees
But time is all you need to make it through
And you're gonna make it through
Oh yeah...take your time
The mirror is broken
Your pieces are everywhere
You gather them hoping
Just leave it behind
Your down upon your knees
But time is all you need to carry you
Don't let it bury you
Oh yeah...Take your time
You can't see it
But the pain that keeps dragging you down
Is the buried treasure you've found
Train lyrics - The Clarks
They grew up in the shadow of the armory
Land of freedom right out their back door
Brothers near the middle of the century
One of them had to go and fight the war
Somebody had to go and fight the war
And the train goes...
So he left upon the rails toward Ohiopyle
Youghiogheny flows around the bend
He told his mother someday he'd be coming home
The medals shine and the stars never end
But nobody counts on scars that never mend
And the train goes...
Cast iron wheels go hungry in the fields
Searching for that silver line a long, long way to go
Cast iron hearts go hungry for spare parts
Searching for a hand to hold on late night radio
He flew missions out of London into Germany
In letters she read once then locked away
With a picture of him smiling at the armory
The colors in that flag all washed away
It's just black and white and a hundred shades of gray
And the train goes...
That's the way it goes
Land of freedom right out their back door
Brothers near the middle of the century
One of them had to go and fight the war
Somebody had to go and fight the war
And the train goes...
So he left upon the rails toward Ohiopyle
Youghiogheny flows around the bend
He told his mother someday he'd be coming home
The medals shine and the stars never end
But nobody counts on scars that never mend
And the train goes...
Cast iron wheels go hungry in the fields
Searching for that silver line a long, long way to go
Cast iron hearts go hungry for spare parts
Searching for a hand to hold on late night radio
He flew missions out of London into Germany
In letters she read once then locked away
With a picture of him smiling at the armory
The colors in that flag all washed away
It's just black and white and a hundred shades of gray
And the train goes...
That's the way it goes
Maybe lyrics - The Clarks
Maybe I should turn and walk away
Maybe I should run, but I'll probably bow my head and pray
Maybe I'll search the lost and found
Maybe like two boxers bloodied, dizzied by the seventh round
Maybe circumstances make it easier to quit
Maybe in our circle, square pieces never fit
But I want you to know
I've never walked away from the things I've wanted
I've never walked away, but I think I'm going to
This time
I've never walked away from the things I've wanted
I've never walked away, but I think I'm going to
This time
Maybe I'll move back across town
Maybe in a week or two, we can talk, but not right now
Maybe your mind plays tricks on me
Maybe it's the drawer of letters everyday I read
Maybe these tears don't look so gallant
Maybe it's a chemical imbalance
Maybe it's the lack of sunlight
But I want you to know
Still I want you to know
Maybe it hurts below the skin
Maybe lessons finally sinking in
Maybe getting in the last word doesn't really mean you win
Maybe I should run, but I'll probably bow my head and pray
Maybe I'll search the lost and found
Maybe like two boxers bloodied, dizzied by the seventh round
Maybe circumstances make it easier to quit
Maybe in our circle, square pieces never fit
But I want you to know
I've never walked away from the things I've wanted
I've never walked away, but I think I'm going to
This time
I've never walked away from the things I've wanted
I've never walked away, but I think I'm going to
This time
Maybe I'll move back across town
Maybe in a week or two, we can talk, but not right now
Maybe your mind plays tricks on me
Maybe it's the drawer of letters everyday I read
Maybe these tears don't look so gallant
Maybe it's a chemical imbalance
Maybe it's the lack of sunlight
But I want you to know
Still I want you to know
Maybe it hurts below the skin
Maybe lessons finally sinking in
Maybe getting in the last word doesn't really mean you win
All The Things I Wanted lyrics - The Clarks
Somebody told me sadness makes a space
Inside your soul where wisdom takes its place
Somebody told me not to waste my turn
Everything goes up someday I'd like to learn to fly
I don't want to fall apart
Or hide behind love's broken door
I don't want to leave and wonder why
I don't want to walk away
Looking over my shoulder for
All the things I wanted in life
Someday I'm gonna have to mark my skin
To show you what I've seen and where I've been
Someday I'm gonna have to take my turn
Everything comes down someday I'd like to learn to fly
I don't want to fall apart
Or hide behind love's broken door
I don't want to leave and wonder why
I don't want to walk away
Looking over my shoulder for
All the things I wanted in life
Don't want to say goodbye
Inside your soul where wisdom takes its place
Somebody told me not to waste my turn
Everything goes up someday I'd like to learn to fly
I don't want to fall apart
Or hide behind love's broken door
I don't want to leave and wonder why
I don't want to walk away
Looking over my shoulder for
All the things I wanted in life
Someday I'm gonna have to mark my skin
To show you what I've seen and where I've been
Someday I'm gonna have to take my turn
Everything comes down someday I'd like to learn to fly
I don't want to fall apart
Or hide behind love's broken door
I don't want to leave and wonder why
I don't want to walk away
Looking over my shoulder for
All the things I wanted in life
Don't want to say goodbye
On Saturday lyrics - The Clarks
I'm gonna quit cause it's getting old
And it'll save my life or so I've been told
You see I got this thing that I like to do
But it seems to get between me and you
You won't understand if you gotta ask why
But if it's what you want I guess I'll try
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
I can't find my key I know where it went
Straight out the door with half the rent
But I got this song that I like to sing
You can keep the key I'll keep the ring
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
And she said it's not you I just need my space
I said it is me just say it to my face
All in time it will be fine
Just me, myself and I
Sublime
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
And she it is you and I found somebody new
She said that's not the color I wanted I said blue
And it'll save my life or so I've been told
You see I got this thing that I like to do
But it seems to get between me and you
You won't understand if you gotta ask why
But if it's what you want I guess I'll try
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
I can't find my key I know where it went
Straight out the door with half the rent
But I got this song that I like to sing
You can keep the key I'll keep the ring
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
And she said it's not you I just need my space
I said it is me just say it to my face
All in time it will be fine
Just me, myself and I
Sublime
We're breaking up, you're moving out, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
And she it is you and I found somebody new
She said that's not the color I wanted I said blue
Superstar lyrics - The Clarks
You changed the world, you blinked your eyes
But you never said goodbye
You saved a life with words my friend
Believe your songs can mend
Never bought a drunk a drink
Never swam swim just to sink
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
Superstar, Superstar
You laugh and sing, the whole world cries
Say you're too young to die
Some luck can mend and bend your mind
Or just make you blind
Never speak just to lie
Never live just to die
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
Superstar, Superstar
There's a place in my mind you'll never find
At the end of a bar and a rhyme
Never gave a drunk a drink
Never cry just to blink
Never run just to fall
Never bleed just to scar
But you never said goodbye
You saved a life with words my friend
Believe your songs can mend
Never bought a drunk a drink
Never swam swim just to sink
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
Superstar, Superstar
You laugh and sing, the whole world cries
Say you're too young to die
Some luck can mend and bend your mind
Or just make you blind
Never speak just to lie
Never live just to die
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
You're a face in the crowd, and you're screaming out loud, Superstar
Superstar, Superstar
There's a place in my mind you'll never find
At the end of a bar and a rhyme
Never gave a drunk a drink
Never cry just to blink
Never run just to fall
Never bleed just to scar
Hey You lyrics - The Clarks
If you're gonna jump
Hey you, hang on
If you feel like giving up
Hey you, hang on
I won't forget today
The sun is bright the sky is blue
The pain will go away
In another year or two
If you got a phone
Hey you, call home
If you got a voice
Hey you, rejoice
I won't forget today
The sun is bright the sky is blue
I won't forget to pray
Day is night the world is new
The pain will go away
In another year or two
In a hundred years or two
If you're gonna fly
Hey you, don't cry
You gotta live to die
Hey you, goodbye
Hey you, hang on
If you feel like giving up
Hey you, hang on
I won't forget today
The sun is bright the sky is blue
The pain will go away
In another year or two
If you got a phone
Hey you, call home
If you got a voice
Hey you, rejoice
I won't forget today
The sun is bright the sky is blue
I won't forget to pray
Day is night the world is new
The pain will go away
In another year or two
In a hundred years or two
If you're gonna fly
Hey you, don't cry
You gotta live to die
Hey you, goodbye
Boys Lie lyrics - The Clarks
She said, boys, they can't be trusted,
I get so disgusted
She says it over and over
You stuttered and you hesitated
From there it all just escalated
It happened over and over
And she said
Boys lie, like the rug under my feet
White lies, every breath between your teeth
Fine line, between love and alibis....Boys lie
He made me this one great promise
But call me the doubting Thomas
She thought it over and over
You'll be mine, you'll be fine
Oh, for the rest of time
He promised over and over
There's nothing that a woman does
just keep her faith because.
There's nothing that a man can say
won't make you walk away
Ain't nothing that he can't undo
a little nudge, and a broken smile
Just staring back at you
When it comes to being trusted
She said, you're so busted
But now that it's over, it's over
I took a poll and you were graded,
Boys were highly overrated
It happens over and over
I get so disgusted
She says it over and over
You stuttered and you hesitated
From there it all just escalated
It happened over and over
And she said
Boys lie, like the rug under my feet
White lies, every breath between your teeth
Fine line, between love and alibis....Boys lie
He made me this one great promise
But call me the doubting Thomas
She thought it over and over
You'll be mine, you'll be fine
Oh, for the rest of time
He promised over and over
There's nothing that a woman does
just keep her faith because.
There's nothing that a man can say
won't make you walk away
Ain't nothing that he can't undo
a little nudge, and a broken smile
Just staring back at you
When it comes to being trusted
She said, you're so busted
But now that it's over, it's over
I took a poll and you were graded,
Boys were highly overrated
It happens over and over
Wasting Time lyrics - The Clarks
At the end of motion
Commit me to the ocean
At the end of thinking
All I want is sinking
The worldly pain of life I leave behind
The give and take of love is not a crime
Like wasting time
It's kinda like a fever
My sleep is getting deeper
It's kinda like a sunset
Fade to black, but not yet
The earthly joy of sex and weed and wine
The high and low of life is not a crime
Like wasting time
It's time I started a fire
Not just a funeral pyre
It's time I get busy living
Not just taking but giving
And leave the pain and hurt and fear behind
And throw away the chains and free my mind
And open up my heart and let love shine
Wasting time
Say goodbye to lonely, Say goodbye to worry
Say goodbye to money, Say goodbye to hurry
Say goodbye
Commit me to the ocean
At the end of thinking
All I want is sinking
The worldly pain of life I leave behind
The give and take of love is not a crime
Like wasting time
It's kinda like a fever
My sleep is getting deeper
It's kinda like a sunset
Fade to black, but not yet
The earthly joy of sex and weed and wine
The high and low of life is not a crime
Like wasting time
It's time I started a fire
Not just a funeral pyre
It's time I get busy living
Not just taking but giving
And leave the pain and hurt and fear behind
And throw away the chains and free my mind
And open up my heart and let love shine
Wasting time
Say goodbye to lonely, Say goodbye to worry
Say goodbye to money, Say goodbye to hurry
Say goodbye
Twist My Arm lyrics - The Clarks
Blame it on the whiskey
Blamed it on your job
Blame the broken promises
And the words can cut so strong
Blame it on the doctors
Blame it on this song
Blame it on your childhood
But I knew all along
And I cried myself to sleep at night
Black and blue eyes, I could see
Thinking about leaving
Then I'd blame it all on me
And you twist my arm
Twist my arm
You shout about the money
And you'd shout late at night
And you'd shout about my mother
You know you're wasting my time
I won't tell you that for fear of my life
I could never figure out
The gifts you bring me hours
After you pushed me to the ground
And you twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
Don't twist it, no don't twist it
I prayed that you were leaving
Prayed I could turn and run
Prayed I had the strength
Closed my eyes, I shot your gun
You twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
Blamed it on your job
Blame the broken promises
And the words can cut so strong
Blame it on the doctors
Blame it on this song
Blame it on your childhood
But I knew all along
And I cried myself to sleep at night
Black and blue eyes, I could see
Thinking about leaving
Then I'd blame it all on me
And you twist my arm
Twist my arm
You shout about the money
And you'd shout late at night
And you'd shout about my mother
You know you're wasting my time
I won't tell you that for fear of my life
I could never figure out
The gifts you bring me hours
After you pushed me to the ground
And you twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
Don't twist it, no don't twist it
I prayed that you were leaving
Prayed I could turn and run
Prayed I had the strength
Closed my eyes, I shot your gun
You twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
Twist my arm
