1. _ Cherubs
I see cherubs swarm around the bed and swooping down to kiss your head.
Only when you're wrecked do you agree with all my plans for you and me.
The walls breathe, we're locked in tight - it's a lovely end to an ugly night.
I think i could burst but i'm sure it'll keep.
The strobe in my head keeps me from sleep.

2. _ Direction Of Strong Man
We're barely halfway there,
You're stretched out and clamped around me.
I don't think there's drink at home.
You make a little snore and shift.
Just keep your head down there - you sleep,
I'll give directions.
I'll use the private miles to plan some tactics and a gift.
I'll move around you,
Attack and surround you.
She talked me back inside
- thank fuck our friends are nosy.
Any reaction's good
- it's a stupid way to make me say it.
Did we go far enough?
Did it just serve its purpose?
If the words are still a problem
I'll cut it out and let you weight it.

3. _ Leave The Day Free
Go and close the curtains - it's getting too bright.
We need some music.
Let's stay up all night.
Put the lights back on - i can't see your face.
Can you feel it?
It's going some pace.s
No inhibitions, we could still have some more so pass me my jeans from your side of the floor.
No plans for tomorrow - leave the day free.
Just waste it in bed, waste it with me.

4. _ Pyjamas
Shouldn't we be naked, especially tonight?
Instead of being fat, instead of being tight.
If you go, go for good,
Don't fucking joke, you know i would.
There's no attempt to make up,
No attempt to sort it out.
And we know wshen we wake up we'll forget what it's about.
If you go, go for good,
No fucking jokes.
Maybe we should.
There's at least a foot between us
- do you really need pyjamas in this heat?
And all we can hear is pissed-up kids in the street.
If you go, go for good.
Don't fucking joke, you know i would.
If you go, go for good.
D do you really think i ever could?
I really wish you fucking would.

5. _ Tanned
The greek sun made you lovely but attacked me with its rays.
I fell asleep and burned so badly
I could barely move for the first few days.
The girls in front all lay topless
- i did my best not to look.
But you could see right through my glasses as
I pretended to read my book.
We went for dinner then tried the cocktails
And drank our way through the list.
For the first time in ages we just sat
And chatted then staggered home happy, tanned and pissed.

6. _ Hello Daylight
I sprained my arm for you when you hid me under the covers
And held my hair.
Did we just forget that we're lovers?
It all came back as sunday was dawning
But i was useless for most of the morning.
The sweat was pishing off me and the duvet had been kicked away.
You said something new, straight to work,
Up and dressed right away.
It all came back as sunday was dawning
But i was useless for most of the morning.

7. _ Autumnal
If you learn to drive,
I can use the train and the bus.
When you're mobile, we'll go.
Take my toys and your cat with us.
We'll leave the violence,
We'll have something to do.
With a couch-bed in the front room for when we fall out or when our friends come through.
It's painting a kitchen that's keeping me going
And we've already named the seeds i'll be sowing.
And when they've grown up (that's hoping that i don't shoot blanks), could we move right up north,
Find a house near the shores and the banks?
With a big fuck-off telly,
A brand new stereo system.
We'll meet old friends at funerals
And pretend that we've missed them.
And if they were here,
They'd say it was shocking to find
We've already named the dog we'll be walking.
It's choosing a mattress that's keeping me going
And we've already named the seeds i'll be sowing.

8. _ One Four Seven One
You said it yourself - you can't help but flirt and i'd be the first to admit that i'm easily hurt.
I can't take things lightly - you said i'm always in a huff.
I know it was just the once but what if that's enough?
Just shut the fuck up and tell me bit by bit, 'cause all i can see is his hand grabbing a tit.
I do one four seven one the minute i get in and if your number's not there your stuff stays in the bin.

9. _ Aries The Ram
When we were last here we named our offspring,
But we never even did it, we never really did anything.
We shared a birthday so we shared a do and they cooked my/your clothes when i was upstairs with you.
I/you did the sheet trick,
You/i did a yawn so i/you went out with the boys,
Stealing the milk at dawn.
I was a virgin, you were on holiday
- i'd had seven glasses when she asked me to stay.
So i let the wine decide what i should do.
At least i was careful
- i remember it was blue.

10. _ The Drinking Eye
It doesn't matter how hard you try to deny
What i can see clearly with my drinking eye.
You know i never stop until i see you cry,
Make you insist through snot and tears that you'd never lie.
Now my friday nights have many uses
- i can forget what happens and make up bad excuses.
It doesn't need a weapon or even much motivation,
Just a bit of beer spilt on my playstation.
It makes me sure i've seen him try it on a few times
Before as i shake my head and sigh, standing halfway through the door.
You might've shared a school or a street.
You might've known him for years
- it makes no odds to me, i just want to see the tears.

11. _ Pro (your) Life
Now you always say terminated, i never hear you say aborted.
You just have to accept mistakes happen and sometimes
They have to be sorted.
You know i'd love it - a little us would be sweet
- but don't take that from your pro-life pal, she doesn't even eat meat.
It's as simple as this - the time's not right.
You need a new job and some sleep tonight.
