they knock knock knocked at my door
with their innocent arms outstretched
said “do you want a world where no one suffers any more?”
I said “well that sounds a little far fetched”
but they knock knock knock at my door
saying “don’t you know the world is on the brink?”
and so I stopped and I thought and I thought a little a more
and then I said “well this is what I think.”
show me a world where no one suffers
where everyone’s already had enough
if you can show me a world where no one suffers anymore
then I will show you a world without love
they knock knock knocked at my door
and their faces hardened into steel
“if you want a world where people suffer
perhaps you should see how they feel”
they knock knock knocked at my door
and they knock knock knocked me down
“if you want a world where people suffer
There’s plenty of that to go around”
show me a world where no one suffers
where everyone’s already had enough
if you can show me a world where no one suffers anymore
then I will show you a world without love
they drag drag dragged me inside
and beat me till my lungs were fit to burst
they said “if you want a world where people suffer
Then we believe that you should be the first”
They knock knock knocked me out
and when I woke there was a note on my chest
That said “if you want a world where people suffer
Then by all means you can be our guest”
I look look looked out my window
and I saw them walking down the street
and when they knock knock knocked at my neighbour house
I called him up and said “pretend that you’re asleep”

She Don't Love You Back
02:31

on this most peculiar day
when the sun is still in mourning
for the day it left behind
there is no way to remain in the shadow of the awning
though you know you’re running blind
you can love her all you want
but she won’t give you jack
she don’t love you back my boy
she don’t love you back
you can give her all you got
but what she wants you lack
she don’t love you back my boy
she don’t love you back
on this most peculiar day
when we are all undone with talking
for the girls that we have chased
there is no way to explain how perhaps she might be different
though I can see it in the lines on your face
You can love her all you want
But she won’t give you jack
She don’t love you back my boy
She don’t love you back
You can give her all you got
But what she wants you lack
She don’t love you back my boy
She don’t love you back
How would I know you say
How wopuld I know

Give Her Time

he held on to her hand till the tips turned white
he pulled close for a kiss and her lips took flight
he felt the pull of the tidal wave but no one saved him then
he held on to her heart and it hurt like hell
the very touch of it burned but he could not tell
at the roll of the dice if it was fire or ice
just give her time
she’ll come round
every evening he spent phoning friends to talk
and whenever it rained he took himself out for a walk
and he imagined that every drip was her fingertip on his hair
no destination was planned, he just followed his woe
through the shining streets where lost lovers sometimes go
when he returned to his lonely flat, to find his life exactly where he left it
just give her time
she’ll come around
he didn’t read the paper, did not watch the news
not knowing what was going on was something he was getting used to
he preferred to be kept outside than be caught and tried for his crimes
he just waits on his own, with his shining eyes
with a dream in his head and no wish to analyse it
he can convince all the hardest truths, that he is not losing her
just give her time
she’ll come around

Just Like Family

I don’t mind
if your sun don’t shine
every day on me
you don’t care
if a crazy bear
goes without his bee
when it’s raining I’ll be there for you
you’ll find shelter with me
I’m just like family
if you’re upset
don’t you ever forget
I am close at hand
I’ll be your friend
to the bitter end
i’m your biggest fan
when it’s raining I’ll be there for you
you’ll find shelter with me
I’m just like family

Paul wrote me
it’s seems he’s doing well
as well as paul has ever done
it seems he’s fine
Paul told me
it seems he’s doing good
as well as Paul has ever done
it seems he’s fine
it’s good to hear from you my friend
it’s good to hear from you
Paul tells me
his love is up and down
but that’s the way he likes it
the way he always has
Paul tells me
his girl’s a pretty one
pretty crazy, pretty eccentric
but pretty all the same
it’s good to hear from you my friend
it’s good to hear from you
I will write you back
