SAD LOVE SONGS
sad love songs



The Lodger
.
Tuesday night, the bar was empty
Cept for me and that old codger
I bought him a gin and sat beside him
As he talked about his lodger,
She's twenty two and she comes from Peru
With long  hair as black as tar
Her smile beats a glorious sunrise
And her eyes outshine any star.
.
I thought this guy's stretching me
Or reliving some concurrent dream
With eyes like tea bags and decked in rags
I didn't cut him in a rental scheme,
He hit a connection with my expression
Said fifty you don't believe me
I said mister I've no umbrella
And you're drenching gullibility.
.
He sniggered like a cheating gambler
Who'd just ripped a Vegas casino
He told me son don't you judge no one
Not even the people you know,
He made me think as he ordered more drinks
I felt humbled to the core
Told him fine I'm up to speed
Spout out and kill me some more.
.
He wiped his nose with his shirt sleeve
Said she moves just like a cobra
Out in his yard in a leopardskin leotard
She gets into Thi Chi and yoga,
I froze my head when he winked and said
She has a secret dragon tattoo
He didn't say where it was
And I didn't ask how he knew.
.
With the mix of talk and alcohol
I was dealing in double vision
I said landlord sounds like you scored
I envy of your position,
He went wide eyed and slowly sighed
Chance would be a fine thing
Told me she's strictly business
Cause he lives on a shoestring.
.
I was ready to hit the cobbles
And stagger home to my nest
He invited me back for an amber nightcap
And to meet his paying guest,
His invitation roused my imagination
But I promptly declined
I said mister thanks for the picture
I'll just keep her in mind.

Come Again

.

Carpets are dying out like the dinosaurs

Everybody wants new laminate floors

They make a house look slick and sleek

Come in imitation pine, oak or teak

There’s no bugs in your rugs

When you click and lay

Get your laminate flooring today.

.

Your living room will look like dream

A quick wipe keeps laminate clean

If you spill a glass of red wine

You’ll mop it up in no time

There’s no stain and no pain

It’s the modern way

Get your laminate flooring today.

.

Bridge

You’ll impress your friends and neighbours

When they call in on you

Eyes will be popping, jaws will be dropping

Your nest will look brand new,

You won’t need your vacuum cleaner

Those machines will be extinct as well

You’ll be glad and your humble pad

Will feel like the Paris Hilton hotel.

.

Yeah

Roll up your carpets and chuck them out

Laminate is what floors are all about

Measure each room in your property

Don’t forget we deliver for free

Feel great with laminate

Don’t delay

Get your laminate flooring today.

.

Tag

Wise choice madam, I’ve seen this down it looks lovely

Good decision sir, this will make your room look larger

Credit card or cash it’s all the same

Thanks for your business, come again.

Back With You.

.

I went down to see my doctor

Thought I'll fix two crows with one stone

Showed him my ingrowing toenail

Said I'm depressed living all alone.

.

He said here's some cream that toe

It should be fine in a week or two

When it came to my love life

He said I should get back with you.

.

chorus

Back with you

It's the only cure for me

Let's act fast and bury the past

There's nothing I wont do

I'm still alive but I can't survive

Unless I'm, back with you.

.

I get scarey dreams every night

I'm nervous and edgy all day

My eyes are glued to the floor

I can't go on living this way

.

My arms are begging to hold you

My heart needs you by my side

To change my feelings for you

There's nothing anyone can prescribe.

.

chorus

bridge

I'm hurting deep down

And there's only one remedy

I have to get back with you

Cause I need you back with me.

.

chorus

______________________________________________________

Thankyou Boss.

.

Met my baby at a Springsteen gig

Back in two thousand and one

She jumped on my right foot

When Bruce played Born To Run

She didn't mean to do it

She was just dancing wild and free

But I ended up on crutches

With a plaster up to my knee.

.

chorus

Wouldn't have happened at a Dylan show

Sting or Luther Vandross

She broke my big toe

Thankyou boss.

.

Well we missed Born In The USA

Thunder Road and Jungleland

But she sat in the ambulance

And held on to my hand

The blue lights were flashing

She was so apologetic

But I didn't feel any pain

Her touch was my anesthetic.

,

chorus

,

We were in the Tunnel Of Love

Before my foot got x rayed

Took a taxi back to her flat

And I hobbled up the stairway

Discussing the Jersey Devil

She cooked some beans on toast

I didn't stay the night

But it was pretty close.

.

chorus

.

We started to see each other

On a romantic basis

Gazing into each others eyes

Kissing in secluded places

Now she's my Rosalita

My indecisive Wendy

She's my dangerous Kitty

And my beautiful Sandy.

,

chorus

I'm A Gambler.

.

Gamblin is in my blood

I'll bet on anything

Three blind mice crossin a highway

I'll take the fat one to win,

Two rats up a drainpipe

That's an even money shot

But the rat without a tail

He's the one with my pot.

.

chorus

Yeah I'm a gambler

Love takin risks

There aint no better feelin

Than punchin air with my fists.

.

I cleaned up on the tortoise

When he flew by the winnin line

I knew that hare would lose

Saw him guzzlin Itallian wine,

Lost a stack on Cinderella

Never thought she'd make the ball

But it came back plus interest

When Humpty took that fall.

.

chorus

.

Well I got truely gutted

Sleepin beauty woke from her dream

For six long bet free months

I lived on bread and margarine,

But I studied the form book

And I pulled off a classic coup

Bambi looked washed out

But I knew he'd pull through.

.

chorus

.

You gotta lay it down to pick it up

That's my philosophy

Aint no shops in the crematorium

Or down in the cemetery,

Well I'm holdin twenty to one

That aliens will invade in L A

I'll be collectin tomorrow

Posh and Becks flew in today

.

chorus

The Odd One Out.

 

Went to a party at Mike and Maggie's flat
Met Len and Lucy and Mary and Matt
Jane and Jack came in with Jim and Joan
I was the only one there on my own.

 

chorus
I'm the odd one out
Everywhere I go
I don't fit in
Can't slide with the flow,
In this lonely heart
There's no doubt
Without you
I'm the odd one out.

 

At the cinema last Saturday night
I was fine till they dimmed the lights
Lovers started kissing passionately
I was the only one watching the movie.

 

chorus

bridge
Friends see me alone
And they can tell
Without you by my side

I'm just a broken shell,
Whatever came between us
We can make it right

I don't want to be odd out

For the rest of my life.

 

chorus

------------------------------------------------------------

Few And Far Between.
.
Sometimes when we argue
I think I should leave you,
I could pack a case
And be out of this place
In a minute or two.
.
When we're both headstrong
And we dont get along,
I can't help but think
We've broken the link
It's time I moved on.
.
chorus
Few and far between
Crazy thoughts are
Few and far between
To live without you
Is an impossible dream,
My heart would crumble into pieces
I would lose my self esteem
I'm glad these thoughts
Are few and far between.

.

bridge
When love doesn't make any sense
It's easy to look beyond the fence
And think about making that leap,
But whatever comes our way
There will never be a day
When love's path becomes too steep.

.

 

chorus
Few and far between
Crazy thoughts are
Few and far between
To live without you
Is an impossible dream,
My heart would crumble into pieces
I would lose my self esteem
I'm glad these thoughts
Are few and far between.
