nobody knows you the way that I do
(go and stay)
when you need me, you know where to turn to
(go and stay)
It's all that we have
all that we cling you
hope that I'll follow
hope that you'll follow
when you need me, you know where to turn to

Great Expectations
03:36

Can’t get whatchu want
It’s everyone’s fault--
Don’t know know who you are?
You were gonna be my quick fix
Now it’s come to this
And I’m not sorry you’re sore
Hung up on your own jealousy
‘Cos you’re not him
You’ll never be
When he has hints of Mister Snow
Even when he’s stuck on flash and bone
There’s no one left to blame
And everytime you look the rules have changed
Your great expectations have done you in
Hey, but what’s come to be
Is the joke is on me
All my deep fears were true
But that being said
We’ve all reached the end
And it still wasn’t you
Hung up on your own jealousy
‘Cos you’re not him
You’ll never be
Stuck on words that you could never say
Then throw a fit when you can’t get your way
There’s no one left to blame
And everytime you look the rules have changed
Your great expectations have done you in
Your great expectations have done wrong
Great expectations
Great expectations

Liar, Liar

liar, liar
I got an empty womb
and I blame it on you
you never let me forget it
I didn't have the right credits
how someone who blocked you
gonna stalk you?!
liar, liar
I got an empty womb
and I blame it on you
don't regret me , don't forget me
liar, liar
a hatbox and the beating of a broken heart
liar, liar
I got an empty womb
and I blame it on you
say the lie 'til you believe it
go ahead, cos you can keep it
bells for her
but the "her" is not me
too much to ask
to give me back my baby
you never let me forget it
I didn't have the right credits
a hatbox and the beating of a broken heart
you never let me forget it
I didn't have the right credits
say the lie 'til you believe it
go ahead, you can keep it
bells for her
but the "her" is not me
too much to ask
to give me back my baby
you say that it's over
but you won't let it end
tellin' everybody
we were never friends
we were never friends

Foolish Mortals
05:07
|

You choose convenience over fate
because you have no faith
Both a blessing and a curse
Hiss and hearse, it could be worse
🎣you tell lies
cos I hurt your pride
Leave me to cry
in my
rundown
Ugly
little cottage by the oceanside
But I couldn’t be bribed to bring you down
Cos we are foolish mortals
And it has yet to be seen
The fate of us foolish mortals
Come apart at the seams
Why can’t we get it right
The way we do in our dreams
Doomed to meet you again
Again and again,
A prince among men
I know it means nothing to you
But your success
Was My dream, too
How you squandered what you never deserved
ⓒ
How you squandered what you never deserved
Post that shit to get my attention
instead of saying sorry
Play the game of who does or doesn’t care
Truth or dare
Burke and Hare, but fair and square
I’d still be there if you’d turn around
I couldn’t be bribed to bring you down
I couldn’t be bribed to bring you down
🎣

(overdubs)
Why can’t we get it right?
I hope we get it right

Young and Hungry
04:02

stop me dead in my tracks
you can't get me
you can't get me
you can't get me now
young
young
young and hungry
you wanna touch me
like he touch me
but you are not him
terror
terror
terrorize me into loving you
coyote is my enemy
but he still told on you
you framed
yourself
the hero
the champion
but you're the villain
of your own story
a no good skin-walker
just like my father
no wasn't an answer I could give
when you chose...
something to be said
about being wooed and pursued
getting attention
from someone
so handsome
when someone else isn't man enough
(when someone else isn't man enough)
we three
we were
young and hungry
coyote is my enemy
MacLaren boar will save me
they both told on you
don't touch me oh
don't touch me oh
don't touch me of don't
even if you're young and hungry

Autograph
04:14
|

good enough to lust after
but not good enough
to take home to mother
I'm not the only girl you did this to
but I'm the only one you loved
I never asked for your autograph
cos you're a has been
that never was
I'm not the only girl you did this to
but I'm the only one you loved
enjoy the love letter on her back
how's that
for an autograph?
I'm not the only girl you did this to
but I'm the only one you loved
I never asked for you

Amuse-Bouche
03:19
|

You get me drunk and
Coach me into things you wanna hear
I shouldn’t say
It’s just too bad, even in the end
You still can’t get your way
Come down, come small
Across the sea or beyond the garden wall
Come down, come small
Across the sea or beyond the garden wall
Updays and downdays and oh my god
Come down, come small
Across the sea or beyond the garden wall
Come down, come small
We’ve crossed that bridge now
And there’s new ports of call
My heart remains broken
My lungs are filled with sand
And the words left unspoken
Only angels understand
(how could you take the sacred away from me?)
