It Happens - Lyrics

AS WE GO UP WE GO DOWN

Love can get you high

Sometimes love can eat you alive

You talk of you and I

But all I did was wipe your eyes

Set me up

Knock me down

But you won't find me

At the lost and found

Should I cry?

I might not but I might

 

Ch:

As we go up we go down

As we go up we go down

As we go up we go spinning round

As we go up we go down

 

If love can hyponotise

I guess I was mesmerised

Until the hand in mine

Pinned me to the wall of my mind

What a joke

What a pig in a poke

Lasts about as long

As a suck of the toe

Stay off my phone

Leave my life alone

 

Ch:

As we go up we go down

As we go up we go down

As we go up we go spinning round

As we go up we go down

 

 

 

(WHO'LL BAIL YOU OUT) SALLY JANE?

 

1. Lying in your bed

Living single handed

Flying in your head

Wondering where it landed

That gravy train

Won't call at your station

No daisy chain

Around your blood circulation – so

 

Ch.1:

Who'll bail you out now, Sally Jane?

When you're caught out in the rain

When there's no one left to blame

Tell me who'll bail you out, Sally Jane?

 

2. Lost without a crowd

A stranger in a strange house

You put the radio on

But you never heard this song

Never heard me play

Never turned to my station

Never hear what I say

Though I talk to saturation – so

 

 

Ch.1:

Who'll bail you out now, Sally Jane?

When you're caught out in the rain

When there's no one left to blame

Tell me who can bail you out?

Only you can bail you out

Tell me you can bail you out, Sally Jane

 

Solo

 

Ch.2:

Who'll bail you out, Sally Jane?

Me and you can bail you out now, Sally Jane

Just try calling out my name

I'll bail you out now, Sally Jane

Who'll bail you out, Sally Jane?

Tell me you can bail you out, Sally Jane

Who'll bail you out now, Sally Jane?

Me and you can bail you out, Sally Jane

 

 

 

 

IT'S NOT YOU, CAROLINE  Real Audio

 

1. The season was closed

And I was open

To somebody, to somebody

With a friend in mind

And though I had a heart, it was broken

Needing a kick start

Or just a bit part in somebody's life

Overrun by the rain that purifies

The dirty love lodged in our dirty minds

And if in succession

We all stand in line

Oh believe me, it's not you

We're just loving on borrowed time

 

Ch:

It's not you, Caroline

It's not you, Caroline

 

2. The ceiling was low

And words were unspoken

Caught in the rings we chain smoked

As we groped our way through the night

And when seasons are slow

Sometimes we open

And so you see

Why I had a need for you to pretend you're mine

And to breathe on me softly with your smile

And steam me open for just a little while

And if I held us back from the water-line

I was only testing me

And the mountain I had to climb

 

Ch:

It's not you, Caroline

It's not you, Caroline

It's not you, Caroline

 

 

I'LL NEVER FEEL THE PAIN  Real Audio

 

1. I want to start a new life

So I got car with a set of lights

And I want to open my mind

With this set of pills and a kitchen knife

And they won't talk about, talk about it

Nothing to think about, think about

He went walkabout, walkabout

It's never talked about

 

Ch 1:

And I'll never feel the pain

How can I feel with no blood in my veins?

Why should I count the days

When I've got a ticket

To another place today

 

2. I want to start a new girl

I want to shout our love to the world

Days that can turn into nights

Raising the count of my blood to new heights

But I don't talk about, talk about it

I can't think about, think about

All that forking out, forking out

I'm not that devout

 

Ch. 2:

And I'll never feel the pain

If I had the heart of a lad insane

So I'm going to count the days

Floating about in a future daze

 

Ch. 3:

I'll never feel the pain

How can I feel what I can't explain?

Why should I count the days

When I've got a ticket to another place?

No I'll never feel the pain

If I had the heart of a lad insane

So I'm going to count the days

Floating about in a future daze

 

 

LITTLE MISS PRETTY

 

1. Little Miss Pretty would dance for the boys in the wood

And little by little she cut down the trees

In our neighbourhood

With bells on her toes

And boys round her fingers

She danced for us all

As she looked in her mirror

We were pinned to the wall

As she took to the wing as we danced below

 

2. Little Miss Pretty how she played to rule and divide

And each was a stitch in the carpet

That was her magic ride

Taking love for a love

A heart for a heart that died

And waters that fall

On all of the heads on fire

A gift from above

Holding us down as we slide

 

 

Break:

She had it all

Or so she thought

And we stared

As she rode for a fall

Which nobody caught, no one there

 

3. Little Miss Pretty sat down by a tree in the wood

And little by little she came to the point

That she understood

When you're caught in the ………..

You don't need a forest

If you're scared of the pain

I beg you take notice

Of the words to this song

You won't be lonely

When the forest's all gone

If you find the right tree

 

 

 

 

I'LL NEVER ASK FOR THE TRUTH

 

1. I've waited too long to feel you

Climb on the back of me

And I've cheated so long I wonder

How you keep track of me

But we'll never be down

We can always be free

 

Ch:

Cos I'm not asking you

No I'm not asking you

And I'll never ask for the truth

If you don't ask me

 

2. I've waited till dawn to hear you

Glide on your tippy toes

(quid pro quo)

So how can you make me feel

I'm defending the Alamo

You could never be wrong

But you could always be free

 

 

Ch:

Cos I'm not asking you

No I'm not asking you

And I'll never ask for the truth

If you don't ask me

 

Break:

Turn it round

Turn it upside down

Or keep the words unspoken

Lying eyes should never open

Nothing broken

 

Solo

 

Ch:

Cos I'm not asking you

No I'm not asking you

And I'll never ask for the truth

If you don't ask me

 

 

 

IT'S JUST YOU

 

1. She's splendour

Oh she's the dream

She's the space

Where I travel from place to place

And moving from room to room

I was singing till I became the tune

Making music for someone now

I'm making music for someone now

That's what I'm here for anyhow

And if they ask me if it's someone new

I could say it was

But it's not true

 

Ch:

It's just you

Only you

I've got sunlight in my life

Because you let it through

It's just you

Hey it's you

Don't let tomorrow come to me

If you're not coming too

 

2. She's surrender

She's the cream

She's the face

That fills this empty space

And as I closed my eyes in solitude

I became the night and she became the moon

So I make music for someone now

I'm making music for someone now

That's all I'm good for anyhow

And if you ask if my vision's true

I would say it was

It's not misconstrued

 

Ch:

It's just you

Only you

I've got sunlight in my life

Because you let it through

It's just you

Hey it's you

Don't let tomorrow come to me

If you're not coming too
