Easy Pieces

Ugly children with poor complexions and greasy hair
Receive no concessions and it`s a heartless world
And it`s a thoughtless heartless world
Oh james oh you're a terrible child
Hide yourself away from furnished accommodation
With a view and window seat
You swear she really is the best thing that you have ever seen
But your heart is in the wrong place
Cover your face and despair yourself away
Oh you're impossible james hide yourself away
And it`s a sin to be a saint
And you're impossible james
And it`s impossible to accept that she's impossible
And as a consequence you lock yourself away
And it`s a crime to be alive and be alone
And be content to be
Oh james oh you`re a terrible child
Hide yourself away
And in the morning when you wake
Nothing will have changed

Saint christopher sunday otherwise unaware
That is what she called it
She arrived was observed with her clothes in his suitcase
Looking suitably world weary
As he drove away she came to
She sat and she waited he did not telephone
Her heart was unbroken
She could not let this be known
She said she'd throw herself off a bridge
He stood and laughed and shewalked out again
Which was when she wrote me in
To her scheme of things
She said she'd throw herself off a bridge
She said she never did and i asked her why
She just shrugged and she sighed
And turned her head away
She did not say
Saint christopher sunday otherwise uneventful
Everything never happened
To her scheme of things
She said she'd throw herself off a bridge
He stood and laughed and she never did
She telephoned to say that she'd cut her wrists instead
She beat the walls with her fists
Running red running back again

If i ever was, then now i`m less than sure
What i was waiting for
If i could find the strenght to walk
Me i`m drinking the sea
She will send me to sleep
Surely there must be an easy way
And i`ll say it again will the nevers end
Do i have to forgive to forget
I wrote a letter only yesterday
I can not recall what i wanted to say
I saw a chance, i let it pass me by
This is the shallow age, my friend
I say never again will the nevers end
This is not what i had meant to say
So i`m drinking the sea, trying to pick up the pieces
And say it never again
If i ever was then now i`m less than sure
And this is the shallow age, my friend

Should you awake dear from your beauty sleep
To find your room swimming in blue and green
Should you awake to feel like you'd never slept
And feel so very old well don't you feel alone
I`m kind of blue blue for you again
I guess i`m a fool at least i`m not innocent
But what to do whatever i touch turns blue
And should you find yourself lost but in no need of sympathy
Calm down to the beach and watch the waves come in
I dream the ocean was in my house
I feel the surf against my skin
But i just can't keep the waves from dragging me down
But when you say
Ooh baby you're my best friend
Then i lose i lose my common sense
I`m kind of blue it`s the truth
Should you awake dear from your beauty sleep
To find your room swimming in blue and green
Should you awake to feel like you'd never slept
And feel so very old
Well don't you feel alone
I`m kind of blue blue for you again
I guess i`m a fool at least i`m not innocent
But what to do whatever i touch turns blue
Blue for you again
I guess i`m a fool at least i`m not innocent
I may be blue but don't you let me make you blue
Too

Walking in the rain walking with jesus and jane
Jane was in her turtle neck i was much happier then
If i were to ask you what you would do with yourself
If i were to tell you would you just talk to yourself
Am i asking oh for so much
I`m not asking to be understood
Am i asking oh for so much
I`m just looking for a brand new friend
Walking in the rain walking with jesus and jane
Jane was in her turtle neck i was much happier then
Am i asking oh for so much
You could do anything you wanted to
Am i asking oh for so much
No just something that i can hold down
Because it`s all downhill now
So let me count the times that we swore and lied
That we`d tie ourselves to the railway line
Let me count the times when of course we lied
Well we know no better it was no crime
Let me count the times
I well i don't know when i when i`ll be content
But i do know i need a brand new friend

It took a lost weekend in a hotel in amsterdam
And double pneumonia in a single room
And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
Are you laughing at me now may i please laugh along with you
This morning i woke up from a deep unquiet sleep
With ashtray clothes and miss lonelyheart`s pen
With which i wrote for you a lovesong in tatoo
Upon my palm `twas stolen from me when jesus took my hand
You see i i wouldn't say it if i didn't mean it
Drop me and i`ll fall to pieces too easily
I was a king bee with a head full of attitude
Wore my heart on my sleeve like a stained
My aim was to taboo you
Could we meet in the marketplace
Did i ever hey please did you wound my knees
You see i i wouldn't say it if i didn't mean it
Drop me and i`ll fall to pieces
Yes it`s too easy and there's nobody else to blame
Will i hang my head in a crying shame
There is nobody else to blame nobody else except my sweet self
Again it took a lost weekend in a hotel in amsterdam
Twenty four gone years to conclude in tears
That the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
Are you laughing at me now
May i please laugh along
I was a king bee with a head full of attitude
And ashtray heart on my sleeve wounded knees
And my one love song was a tatoo upon my palm
You wrote upon me when you took my hand
You see i i wouldn't say it if i didn't mean it
Drop me and i`ll fall to pieces too easily
