Too Fast For Me.

.

She's talking about a magnolia bedroom

Red curtains and a Che Guevara poster

She wants a tangerine kitchen

With a stainless steel kettle and toaster,

She mentioned real oak flooring

And a new hi def t v

We only met a week ago

She's too fast for me

.

chorus

She's too fast for me

I don't want a wife

I like her a lot

But she's planning my life,

I don't know what to do

I'm way outta my tree

She's moving too fast

Too fast for me.

.

We were sitting on the grass in the park

And we shared a long French kiss

I was tingling all over

Thought I've never had a buzz like this,

But suddenly she gave me

The worst shock I've ever had

She wants me all spruced up

To meet her mom and her dad.

.

chorus

bridge

Well I'm cool with going steady

I'm just not ready,  to fall in love,

I'm scared she'd call it a day

If I was to say,  baby back off.

The Girl From Pickletillum.
.
She's the only passenger from that sleepy town
And I look for her as the bus slows down,
At eight in the morning five days a week
She pays the driver then she sits by me.
.
chorus
I've never been so in tune
With myself or anyone
I'm falling in love
With the girl from Pickletillum.
.
Like a second sun she brightens my day
She's a small town angel a rose on display,
I get lost in her eyes and time stands still
Every word she sends arrives with a thrill.
.
chorus
.
bridge
I asked for a date and she said alright

We're going to a movie on Saturday night
I can sense loves magical chemistry
And I'm certain she feels the same as me.
.

Drinking Alone.

.

Friendly advice is just a worn out tune
So move on and give me some room,
Can't you see I'm in misery mood
My baby left me and she's gone for good.

.

chorus
I have to get used to,  living on my own
So I'm starting right now, I'm drinking alone.

.

Maybe I'll change when the gin kicks in
I might leap to my feet and start boogieing,
But right now I'm still way too upset
And I'm not ready to forgive or forget.

.

chorus

bridge
She told me she met someone new
And though she didn't intend to
She fell in love with him,
And as she walked away
She had the nerve to say
I made her feel fenced in.

.

Junk Food.
.
Honey don't bite my head off
I only made a suggestion
If you use a little more salt
Maybe I wont get indigestion,
You're a top notch cook
You should be on tv
But this new healthy diet
It's killing me.
.
chorus
Stalks and leaves
Aint doing me any good
Honey I'm begging you please
Let's get back on junk food.
.
I'm thinner than a golf club
Skin falling of my face
I could pluck my ribcage
And play Amazing Grace,
Rabbits thrive on weeds
Squirrels dig raisins n nuts
I'm red blooded man
I need  grease in my guts.
.
chorus
bridge
My ghostly eyes need to see some fries
With a quarter pounder and a slab of cheese
Honey I need a gallon of fizzy lemonade
To get the strength back in my knees.

.

Well I've tried my best babe
To get healthy and lean
Been on your treadmill
And your rowin machine,
I'm ready to compromise
Honey I've had my fill
Lets sell those gizmos
And buy a George Forman grill.

.

Under The Streetlight.

.

There goes Joe shuffling by like a shrimp

With a pocket full of change looks like he has a limp,

He’s been busking since noon now it’s eight at night

Joe plays blues harmonica under the street light.

.

Here comes Sam pushing his hot dog cart

Him and his contraption are seldom seen apart,

His dogs are delicious always cooked just right

Sam sells more than food, under the street light.

.chorus

It’s a twenty four hour show right outside my window

Doesn’t matter if it’s dull or bright,

There’s always something going on under the street light.

.

There’s sweet Sue chewing bubble gum

Strangers never think she’s a single mom,

Her man took off and left her in a plight

Sue makes her living under the streetlight

.

There’s two innocent teenage kids

They’re falling in love like their parents did,

Laughing and joking not a care in sight

They share a first kiss under the streetlight.

.

chorus

.

Here comes Titch and there’s Jack McPhail

Titch grassed on him Jack did a year in jail,

When they meet up there’s gonna be a fight

All hell will break loose under the streetlight

.

chorus

If We'd Stayed In Love.
.
Gee it's great to see you, you look in fine fettle
The make up is gone you're down to the metal
With those rosey cheeks you're looking top drawer
Hey is that hole still there where I punched the door.
.
chorus
We had a lucky escape
It's a good thing we called it off
We'd be six feet under
If we'd stayed in love.
.
Hey remember the time, when you went nuts
You threw a plate and it hit me in the guts
All those fits of rage they proved us wrong
Love won't settle where it doesn't belong.
.
chorus
bridge
Is that your wedding ring
I heard you married last spring
And I see you've got a bun in the oven,
Well I'm still living alone
But I like it on my own
The odd one night stand keeps me buzzing

The Man In The Lyrics.

You'll have heard my story
It's a tale that everyone knows
It's been sung all over the world
From concert halls to chat shows.

A man loves a woman
Then she takes her love away
Paul McCartney wrote my life
When he wrote Yesterday.

chorus
I'm the man in the lyrics
I'm the man in the song
Yesterday I held her
But now she's gone,
I was twice the man I am
Love was all it should be
Now I'm the man in the lyrics
I thought she loved me.

chorus
