And When She Was Bad
I'm not denying that I was trying to appear nonchalant
You're not my wife; it's your own life and you can kiss who you want
But that kiss lasted slightly longer than strictly was right
You say you tried to break off but he was stronger
Well maybe you might
Not be quite as blame free as your expression suggests
If he's only an old buddy why does he stare at your breasts?
And is he always quite so zealous about keeping in touch?
I don't usually get this jealous, but that was too much
Please don't tease
Just stay away from him from today
I mean it, I've seen it
You say it's all just for fun, but look what you've done
Listen, babe, he was already trying to get his hand down your shirt!
From what you're saying (well, unless you're lying!) he's going to get hurt
Please don't tease
Just stay away from him from today
I mean it, I've seen it
You say it's all just for fun, but look what you've done

Two Girls
You are perfection personified
While, frankly, she's undignified
Trust me, she disgusts me, she dares me, she scares me
She bites me, excites me, annoys me, destroys me
And if I say you're beautiful and kind
I can hear her laughing in my mind
Because she mocks me, she shocks me, she sours me, devours me
She chokes me, provokes me, she hates me, she devastates me
I didn't plan on falling for two girls at the same time
I didn't plan on lying to you
Listen darling, I'm really trying to ignore her but she just slips into my head
Don't you think I'm feeling guilty? Well that's not what you said
And you're right, she wears disgusting clothes
And she chews her hair in ways I loathe
But she charms me, she harms me, she fights me, delights me
She breaks me, she takes me, she eats me, she defeats me
I didn't plan on falling for two girls at the same time
I didn't plan on lying to you
Listen darling, I'm really trying to ignore her but she just slips into my head
But don't you think I'm feeling guilty? Well that's not what you said

Estrella
The wind has died and your tears have dried
But you're still not angry with me
Estrella please, don't just forgive me
I wish you weren't so understanding when I've told you lies
Why do you still believe these alibis?
Because you must know by now, something is wrong, somehow
And I thought by being sleazy
That I could, well, just make this easy
So why does your voice still sound so trusting when you ask me why
Why don't you doubt me when I say I'll try?
Because believe me, you should leave me
You're making it too hard
How can you disregard
What I'm doing, what I'm pursuing?
I don't know what you want to do
But I am not the man for you
You've never found out if I sleep around
But that's because you haven't even tried to
You don't even know when you're being lied to
I can't believe you don't suspect some slight adultery
You must see that you're much too good for me
Because believe me, you should leave me
You're making it too hard
How can you disregard
What I'm doing, who I'm pursuing?
I don't know what you want to do
But I am not the man for you
Oh, yes believe me, yes, you should leave me
You're making it too hard
How can you disregard
What I'm doing, who I've been screwing?
I don't know what you want to do
But I am not the man for you

Cat Girl Tights
I could hardly believe I was hearing your voice at first
It's been such a long time; I was starting to fear the worst
And in your last letter you talked about meeting some strange new men
I began to think I might never see you again
So now I feel so much better
I have missed you so much I don't think a single day's gone by
When I've not thought about you
And how we spent those winter nights just sat by the fire, you in your 'cat girl' tights
And we talked forever about the things you were going to do
And I was so sure that, when all your dreams came true, we'd still be together
You moved away; I didn't mind because I'm not one of the things that you've left behind
Tell me it's true
I have missed you so much I don't think a single day's gone by
When I've not thought about you
You moved away; I didn't mind because I'm not one of the things that you've left behind
Tell me it's true

Airborne
And I was watching you from the observation deck
Until your plane became a shiny speck
And if I wanted to sentimentalise
I'd say the planes drew kisses across the sky
So now, you're airborne
But I could have sworn
That you'd be here forever
That wasn't so clever
The vapour trail's dissipating fast
I guess some things aren't made to last
And I might be feeling quite morose
But now I'm wondering if we ever got close
Your plane keeps shrinking
I stand here thinking
Just how did I get this far
Without guessing what you are?
You just packed up all your stuff
And said that you'd had enough
But, really, you just flew away the moment things here got tough
And all the problems we had
Didn't really make you that sad
You just never worked out how to take the good with the bad
..........................................................................................................................
Quick, Before It Melts
And when you said: "I've got nothing on beneath this dress", that was such great flirting!
I usually find such candidness sort of disconcerting
But you said: "I don't wear underwear because it leaves a stripe
People sneer, but do you think I care? They're usually not my type!"
And soon we're reeling from the beer that we keep buying
You ask me what I'm doing here and I start lying
You're wondering what is on my mind is it a one night stand?
You laugh and say: "Baby I'm not blind!" and then you squeeze my hand
But please, let's be quick before it melts
Please, let's just be quick before it melts
The next thing I know we're in the street and we're being sleazy
You ask me if I want to eat, but I'm too uneasy
You put your hand onto the very place my girlfriend's hand should be
You haven't exactly got the kind of face that invites honesty
But please, let's be quick before it melts
Please, let's just be quick before it melts
You said: "If it feels right I just might let you sleep with me tonight
And then tomorrow, if you do go, you have my word, no-one will ever know"
But please, let's be quick before it melts
Please, let's just be quick before it melts
You said: "It feels right so I just might let you sleep with me tonight
And then tomorrow, if you do go, you have my word, no-one will ever know"

Tie Me Up
It's almost unfair that someone should be quite so stunning
When they said that you'd called for me I came running
Your perfect hands
Those few loose strands of hair that are out of place, falling across your face
Your fingertips, your eyes, your lips
The minute I closed the door you caressed me
Then pulled me down to the floor and undressed me
You tied my hands and whispered commands
Then my whole body shook as you began to suck
I cried your name and then I came
You own me, you own me, and I'll do anything
You own me, you own me, and I'm not arguing
Anything that you want to do, I'll do it
I'm completely enslaved by you; I'll do it
Anything that you want to do, I'll do it
I'm completely enslaved by you; I'll do it
You own me, you own me, and I'll do anything
You own me, you own me, and I'm not arguing
You own me, you own me, and I'll do anything
You own me, you own me, and I'm not arguing
...................................................................................................................................
Careless
And by the way, I'm sorry for calling you loose
Oh, well, but look who you chose to seduce
OK, well, none of those things I said were true
Now I regret, continuing with the pretence
Because it just doesn't make any sense
Because I'd still like to be, well, friends with you
So please don't ignore me, that'd be really the end
I just lost a lover; I don't want to lose a friend
That would be careless
That would be careless
But I'm not still in love with you
No, I'm not still in love with you
And I'm sure that together we can make this work
As long as I stop being a jerk
As long as you stop indulging his every whim
Because I know I could put up with all of this mess
Just to see you wearing that dress
You know I'll be here when you're through with him
No please don't ignore me, that'd be really the end
I just lost a lover; I don't want to lose a friend
That would be careless
That would be careless
But I'm not still in love with you
No, I'm not still in love with you
That would be careless
That would be careless
But I'm not still in love with you
No, I'm not still in love with you

Close Up
And so exactly what went on between you two?
The night was hot; I was away from you
It's time to confess; did you wear your red dress? Oh, I knew!
You're forgiven now, but I still need to know
Just tell me how and tell me slow
Did he undo your bra; did he make it that far, yes or no?
Again, oh please just tell me again
And this time don't fail to give me every last detail
I'm sincere, I really do want to hear
What was in your head when you had a stranger in our bed
And did he touch you there and did it feel like bliss?
And did he stroke your hair; tell me about every kiss
And when he made you come, was it more thrilling doing something like this?
Again, oh please just tell me again
And this time don't fail to give me every last detail
I'm sincere, I really do want to hear
What was in your head when you had a stranger in our bed
.................................................................................................................................
Starry Eyed
Why have you locked the bathroom door?
It's not as if I haven't seen you piss a thousand times before
And why can't you look me in the face?
Is it because somebody else has already moved into my place?
But I shouldn't put any questions to you
That I don't really want the answers to
Why didn't you return my call?
Well tell me is there any point in my being here at all?
Why can't you just tell me what's wrong?
Have I been totally naïve in trusting you all along?
But I shouldn't put any questions to you
That I don't really want the answers to
................................................................................................................................
Get Up And Go
When, finally, I wake up you're removing last night's makeup
You turn your head and then crawl back into bed
There's an element of danger sleeping with a complete stranger
But I confess, I'm so glad that you said yes
Because the moment I saw you I knew, and I swore you'd be mine
Because you looked divine
And I can't help myself yawning; we didn't sleep 'til five this morning
Is this for keeps? Well at least 'til your mobile beeps
You take an age to read it and then immediately delete it
I didn't see the text but I know what's coming next
"I've got to change these sheets before he returns and learns that I've been doing this
I'm sorry I've ruined it, but, God, I just couldn't stop!"
I'm so glad you didn't
Until you got that call you didn't mention him at all
And I'm so glad you didn't
OK, it wasn't right but it was such a perfect night
So I help you hide my presence; it reminds me of my adolescence
But this isn't fun; it feels like your boyfriend's won
But why are you so remorseful?
Look, it just happened and of course you will feel low, because you didn't say no
And I'm so glad you didn't
Until you got that call you didn't mention him at all
And I'm so glad you didn't
OK, it wasn't right but it was such a perfect night
I'm so glad you didn't
Until you got that call you didn't mention him at all
And I'm so glad you didn't
OK, it wasn't right but it was such a perfect night
................................................................................................................................
Get Smart
I heard exactly what you said but I know that he slept in our bed
You should really take more care because all it took was a single hair
How would you, how could you not think that I'd realise?!
You must know you're just so terrible at telling lies
And did you really think I might not find out where you were last night?
Believe me, darling, it wasn't hard, when you paid for the meal on your credit card!
No don't flip, here's a tip: all it needs is a little thought
This will surprise you, but I don't want you to get caught
That's a price that I'll pay to stop you going away
Keep telling your lies, I won't criticise if it means you will stay
And you should probably tell him not to phone unless you're sure that you are going to be alone
This hanging up without him saying a word was maybe fine just once, but it's becoming absurd!
No don't flip, here's a tip: all it needs is a little thought
This will surprise you, but I don't want you to get caught
That's a price that I'll pay to stop you going away
Keep telling your lies, I won't criticise if it means you will stay
That's a price that I'll pay to stop you going away
Keep telling your lies, I won't criticise if it means you will stay
That's a price that I'll pay to stop you going away
Keep telling your lies, I won't criticise if it means you will stay

Health And Efficiency
And we ate peaches in this very place
The juice was running down your face
I poured coffee from a flask; it tasted funny
And then we tried to make love by this lake
I remember you began to shake
And I was far too scared to ask if you were coming
We bought 'H & E' because we thought it was dirty
It's strange just how innocent it all looks today
We tried to imagine ourselves naked at thirty
But that always seemed such a long way away
We looked for mountaintops to climb
Just because we needed things to fill our time
We were young and free, and boy, did we abuse it
But everything was so clear-cut
And this is such a cliché but
You don't appreciate the joy until you lose it
I was jealous and mean you were fragrant and flirty
It's strange just how innocent it all looks today
We tried to imagine being together at thirty
But that always seemed such a long way away
