excuse me

excuse me wait a minute I didn't realise that
hey slow down take a look hang on  just let me
why won't you
excuse me
I didn't realise I wasn't aware  stop interrupting me
it needs to be quiet I can't concentrate
you can't see me wait on
hang on a minute let me please say something
it won't take long
take a little look
I'm taking over
I can't remember  you've forgotten what it was
let it go  let it ride
you can't see me wait on
hang on a minute let me please say something
it won't take long
take a little look
I'm taking over
wait, wait for me to change my clothes
and then we'll go, just where you wanted to be
it's not my fault and I won't take the blame for you not knowing
what to do with me
because it won't take long
take a little look
I'm taking over

music

I'm set in my ways and closing my eyes can see why
everything is easy and I'm stunned and amazed
when the music starts

I can't wait forever to meet you
I can't delay my flight

Unlimited ways to catch up on losing sleep and
making out I hadn't noticed that  I'm stuck in a maze
when the music starts

I can't wait forever to meet you
I can't delay my flight

the way an angel flies amazes me every time
I think some wings would suit me fine

There's too many ways confusion on every street
communication's breaking up and I'm loving your face
when the music starts

I can't wait forever to meet you
I can't delay my flight

and you say

I was wondering how to speak without words
looked up towards the sky, do you know why?
To shower in the rays of the sun is my number one ...
now...

oh what am I? I don't know what I am  I'll even try to try again

and you say go your way
and you say I was wrong
and today it will rain

now...

I will not reply  I will not upset you And I'm sure that I'll be ok

and you say go your way
and you say I was wrong
and today it will rain

I will run from you now  whenever I see you 
I will run from you now
well it's the same story
when did I let you down?
whenever I see you I will run from you now

now...

Now that I'm reasonably confused
You say you'll try again

and you say go your way
and you say I was wrong
and today it will rain
it will rain  it will rain  It will rain

victoria st

There's a blue house on Victoria St round the corner from me
I can walk there with Maxine/my dog on a lead don't know what I see
what's the point? I have a need to know what's going
I'm climbing the fence but my legs need a rest
from these feelings I get

there's a way
there's a way I can see inside, if I try

People will watch as I'm slowing to stop on the path outside
Maybe I'm wrong to be sneaking a glance, but it's my last chance
when I'm outside, you're reading me internally
Spying on me as I'm looking on through
don't know what to do

there's a way
there's a way I can see inside, if I try

people running out the door and running off in all directions
wonder what the hell went wrong inside the house that's on Victoria St

I can see, I can see inside
I can see, I can see inside
I can see, I can see inside, if I try

make you mine

I sold my heart for fifty cents and closed my eyes
I tried to think about my life
You came around and took me out
You let me breathe

Today's the day and I can't wait to make you mine

It's not the house that makes me sad it's not my head
(my skin is showing signs of age)
That green eyed monster over there
He knows me well

Today's the day and I can't wait to make you mine
to make you mine

Another step towards the edge, I hear a scream
But I'm ignoring everyone & everything 'cause

Today's the day and I can't wait to make you mine
to make you mine

the gift

A Wednesday night, cooking food, seeing friends
and talking of the world in disarray
it doesn't seem -
can't it be collective imagination?

and you gave me a gift
and I promised that I'd use it the very next day
and you gave me a gift
and I promised that I'd only use it for good

Conversation falls away
looking over, remembering an 'us'
it doesn't seem -
aren't we told that time will take away such feelings as this?

and you gave me a gift
and I promised that I'd use it the very next day
and you gave me a gift
and I promised that I'd only use it for good

follow the instructions
buy a house beside the sea
fill it full of people
the tiniest distractions
make the loveliest of times
I hoped that you would be there
I hoped that you would be there on time

Last September came and went
we decided it wasn't what we thought
it doesn't seem -
didn't we decide on a couch that we would try?

and you gave me a gift
and I thought that I might
and I hoped that you would
and you gave me a gift
and I promised that I'd only use it for good
