Broken Mirror

I wouldn't believe everything you said
Now what do I see
A broken mirror looking at me
Am I now the one who's incomplete

Broken mirror
You did not lie
You told me what's wrong
And you told me why
Your pieces are true
Sharp and blind
Nobody looks back
From your unseen side

You wouldn't believe
Everything I said I did not mean
Broken mirror under my feet
Are you now the one reflected in me

Broken mirror
You did not lie
You told me what's wrong
And you told me why
Your pieces are true
Sharp and blind
Nobody looks back
From your unseen side

Well, every night, every day
I came to you to see what you'd say
And now look what I've done
It's the hour and the lack of oxygen

I wouldn't believe everything you said
Now what do I see
A broken mirror looking at me
Am I now the one who's incomplete

Alone in the night

Waste Your Time

If you ever get downtown
Why don't you see if I'm around
Maybe I'll waste your time
Like I waste your time

And if you ever get the sense
You're gonna see me again
I'm gonna waste your time
Like I waste your time
Yeah, yeah like I waste your time
Yeah, yeah

Do you still complain
About everything
You make it sound like a compliment
Do you still have spells
Catastrophic bills
You make it look like you intended it

And if you ever get downtown
Why don't you see if I'm around
Maybe I'll waste your time
Like I waste your time

And if you ever get the sense
You're gonna see me again
I'm gonna waste your time
Like I waste your time
Yeah, yeah like I waste your time
Yeah, yeah

Do you still forget
Exaggerate the rest
You make it all into an incident
Do you still deny
Shut one eye
Then aim right between the promises
Yeah, yeah waste your time
Yeah, yeah

If you ever get downtown
Why don't you see if I'm around
Maybe I'll waste your time
Like I waste your time

And if you ever get the sense
You're gonna see me again
I'm gonna waste your time
Like I waste your time
Yeah, yeah like I waste your time
Yeah, yeah

Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)
(Barry Mason andTony Macaulay)

She ain't got no money
Clothes are kinda funny
Hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

She talks kinda lazy
People say she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling so fine
That I just gotta say
She's really got a magical spell
And it's working so well
That I can't get away

I'm a lucky fella
And I just gotta tell her
That I love her endlessly
Oh, cause love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

Yeah, I'm a lucky fella
And I just gotta tell her
That I love her endlessly
Oh, cause love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

That's Alright with Me

You can tell me no
And that's alright
Help me close
And get the lights
If you wait for me tonight
I won't be long
Baby that's alright with me

Everybody knows
Wishes can't be told
Your talk about leaving town
Is getting kind of old

But here in the neon light
You're taking me away
I don't know where you've been
But I want you to stay

You can get up and leave
That's alright
Ask me please to hold you tight
And if you wait for me tonight
I won't be long
Baby that's alright with me

I watch your shadow rise
And walk across the room
You talk about leaving town
Well why ain't you long gone

Love and neon light
Should never be alone
I wonder where you've been
Not where you're going

You can tell me no
And that's alright
Help me close
And get the lights
So you say your place is nice
I won't be long
Baby that's alright

You can get up and leave
That's alright
Ask me please to hold you tight
And if you wait for me tonight
I won't be long
Baby that's alright with me

You can tell me no
And that's alright
Help me close
And get the lights
So you say your place is nice
I won't be long
Baby that's alright

You can get up and leave
That's alright
Ask me please to hold you tight
And if you wait for me tonight
I won't be long
Baby that's alright with me

Radio for Heartache

She's a radio for heartache
Wandering along the river
Anyone who's on her wavelength
She will ask you what's the matter

He was so alone
He wouldn't have recognized his face
She sat down and gazed around
"Isn't this a lovely place?"

It looked cold out on the water
He kind of turned and nodded to her
That sound that "you let me down" makes
She's a radio for heartache

He'd been so wrong already
He couldn't even guess
She asked him if he had seen
Her favorite pair of swans pass yet

She's a radio for heartache
Wandering along the river
Anyone who's on her wavelength
She will ask you what's the matter

Back to My Machine

I went back to my machine
One moonless night
Down a dark strange street
Familiar in the day

I went back to my machine
Said I forgot a couple things
And she was listening
And came to life again

And I looked into her screen
And she looked back at me

If my heart was made of iron
If blood ran through your steel
We could be together again
O how I wish you were real

I went back to my machine
She was a beautiful thing
On a warm summer night
Walking in the moonlight

I went back to my machine
She remembers me
Said she's sorry what she did
Then they turned her into this

And I looked into her screen
And she looked back at me

If my heart was made of iron
If blood ran through your steel
We could be together again
O how I wish you were real

If your veins weren't wires
If blood ran through you still
We could be together again
O how I wish you were real

Arriving on a Train

Sunrise on the tower clock
Back streets still wet with rain
Rowhouses slow then stop
I am arriving on a train

You were always telling me
Not to be so sure
And if I cannot get away
Try to get through

Suddenly now I wake up
Alone on an empty train

I could never get it right
Till I gave up trying
I'm toward the end, settled in
Happy for a while
Now it all seems like a memory at one time

Blue light through cloudy glass
Empty platform like a stage
And I wonder where I'm at
I am arriving on a train

And as I rise from my seat I find
The worried voices fade away
Then at the steps I realize
I am arriving on a train

Save Yourself, City Girl

Save yourself, city girl
I can't do much from way out here
Cut your collar and sell your pearls
Save yourself, city girl

You got invited then decided to begin
Nobody noticed when you couldn't find your seat again

A wind-up toy without a chain
You don't respond to your own name
Lost your coat, lost your curl
Save yourself, city girl
Save yourself, city girl

He'll start to notice that you can't be satisfied
You'd better get your ticket now before he cuts that card

At that table where you go
You act like you've got your own show
Tell me something I don't know
Save yourself, city girl
Save yourself, city girl

Save yourself, city girl
I can't do much from way out here
Cut your collar and sell your pearls
Save yourself, city girl
Save yourself, city girl

Anyone

Anyone who's ever tried
Knows the way that I feel tonight
And anyone who's ever been let down
Knows what I'm talking about

Did you think I didn't care
Did you think that I'd not be there
You fall to pieces and you don't get none
I had a reason, I'd give you one

Anyone had to do what you have done
Had you say what you have said
You know time will tell
Time won't lie so listen well
Hey, and try not to forget

Anyone who's never right
Knows where to find me tonight
And anybody already done
Knows better than anyone

Anyone had to do what you have done
Had you say what you have said
You know time will tell
Time won't lie so listen well
Hey, and try not to forget

Anyone who's ever tried
Knows the way that I feel tonight
And anybody already done
Knows better than anyone
Anyone

In My Dream

Hey baby, don't worry
Hey baby, don't worry

Open my eyes
Another day
I see your face and your eyes

In my dream
In my cold and quiet dream
You could not go outside
In my dream
They would ask where I had been
They would know that I lied

And so I go
Into my day
Though clouds cross the sky

In my dream
In my gray and hollow dream
I went out, you would hide
In my dream
You were never to be seen
Then they appeared outside

Hey baby, don't worry
Hey baby, don't worry

In my dream
In my gray and hollow dream
I went out, you would hide
In my dream
You were never to be seen
Then they appeared outside

Hey baby, don't worry
Hey baby, don't worry
