Points On The Curve

(jack hues)

It's hard to recall how we were at school
Our ambitions and conditions
And our hopes for the future
The teachers we had, our mums and our dads
Their decisions and revisions
And their hopes for the future

Chorus:
But look at me now
I cannot count the cost
Of all the friends i lost
And though my heart did break
Look at me now
I'm on the candle flame
I have a different name
I have your hand to take
But look at me now - and here i am

I used to believe in an idea received
With concision, but derision
Was my natural reaction
You cannot pretend that its all gonna end
In a second to be reckoned
Like a soldier in action

Repeat chorus
Won't you look at me now

(jack hues / nick feldman)

These days our problems seem to come in waves
Sometimes its hard to count them all
You're reading all alone when suddenly
You feel yourself about to fall

Chorus:
If you need someone to talk it out
Then talk it out with me
If you need someone to talk it out
Then i'm the one you need

Your fear of past mistakes intensifies
Your fear of everything that's new
You need a friend around to sympathise
Someone to help you with the view

Repeat chorus
If you need someone to talk it out
To talk of what you see
If you need someone to talk it out
Then i'm the one you need

Repeat chorus

Talk it out
Talk it out oh oh
I'm the one you need

Streetcorners seem designed to lie in wait
For a chance to get involved in lovers' fate
And this one seems as good as any i've seen
So wait here with me until six-fifteen

Chorus:
I'm waiting for you
But you're very late
I know you'll come anyway
And i can hardly wait
Evidently
There's a difficulty
I know you'll come anyway
And i can hardly wait
Wait

I see you approaching you're the eyes of the crowd
The traffic and people, god they're all so loud
But in a couple of moments they will all disappear
Because we're ever so close when we're ever so near

Repeat chorus

Punctuality
Was never much to me
Being yourself is the main thing
Forget about the time
Forget about the time
Being yourself is the main thing
The main thing
The main thing love

(jack hues / darren costin / nick feldman)

Working at your job all day
Sends the time spinning away
Watch tv from half past six
Cook, make love and pick up sticks
But you can hear the waves crash on the beach
At night

Books you read can sublimate
Music seems to dissipate
And maybe just a bottle of wine
And a couple of smokes and you'll be fine
But you still hear the waves crash on the beach
At night
You can feel the waves crash on the beach
At night
Your lover lies beside you fast asleep
The moonlight falls upon the tears you weep
And you can hear the waves crash on the beach
At night oh at night

So all you really need is love
Love to give, receive above
And then the waves will soothe your heart
Your one true love will never part
True love (is the answer to everything
True love is the answer true love is the thing)
True love (is the answer to everything
True love is the answer true love is the thing)
And we will lie together both asleep
The moonlight will provide the tears we weep
And as we breathe the waves crash on the beach
At night
And as we breathe the waves crash on the beach
At night

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high hand stand
Take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel

Chorus:
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When i, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, i said

Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there there there
Take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears

Repeat chorus

So take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you

Repeat chorus
