A Million Typing Monkeys
(Album:
Consternation! Uproar!)
There are so many tales I could tell you
There are so many books I could write
I know I'll be a well-known writer
I just need to get past the first line
Been up all night
Trying to write this story
Here's how it reads:
'Once upon a time' - that's it in all its glory
But I know where it leads
I know how it should be
I know and there are so many tales I could tell you
There are so many books I could write
I know I'll be a well-known writer
I just need to get past the first line
It doesn't take a million typing monkeys
One's all we need
I'll get a break
I'll write a masterpiece
That everyone will read
I know how it must be
I know and there are so many tales I could tell you
There are so many books I could write
I know I'll be a well-known writer
I just need to get past the first line
I just need to get past the first line
So many tales I could tell you
There are so many books I could write
I know I'll be a well-known writer
I just need to get past the first line
I just need to get past the first line
I Waited (and Waited)
(album: V.
Strange)
The last I ever heard of you was when
you said you'd come back soon
Real soon
You left me waiting in the car parked outside an Irish
bar
A bar
I waited and waited and waited and waited and waited
and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited
and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited
and waited
Trying to Ride a Donkey
(album: V.
Strange)
Getting sentimental over things that nearly killed me
when I was young
I've gotten over it by now but still I feel that I've
been everybody's clown
And I know I won't get younger no I won't
I refuse to get much older but I feel I've been trying
to ride a donkey and I feel
Breaking out of old routines and going back the next
day just to feel safe
Ripping my old life apart and glueing it back together
just to feel safe
And I know I won't get younger no I won't
I refuse to get much older but I feel I've been trying
to ride a donkey and I feel tired
And I feel so tired
The Heavyweight Champions
(album: The
Heavyweight Champions)
By the time you get used to this
noise
And to everything in me
We'll have moved our home countless times
Walked the dog 'round the world
Tell me how'd you become so attached
to him and to me
And whatever makes him wag his tail
must be something to fight for
By the time I get used to applause
And to everyone around me
I'll have written this song countless times
Gotten my share of encores
Tell me how'd you become so attached
to him and to me
And whatever makes him wag his tail
must be something to fight for
By the time you'll get used to this noise
By the time you'll get used to my voice
By the time you'll get used to the fact
that we're not

Nothing Could Go Wrong
(Album: The
Heavyweight Champions)
All things that you once thought
that you
liked
In time they tend to lose their meaning and
you know
The same thing just might happen to you
You know I used to love you
But that was hours ago
And now I'm getting dressed
And walking out the door
So pained and distressed
Yeah but can you see
How I'm getting through this
See how I get along
See how
Nothing could go wrong
Unless my gun just happens to go off
What is this?
Who have I become?
And, above all, am I as good as I was before?
And I don't think I recognize you
No, wait, I think I might have known you
But that was years ago
And now I'm getting dressed
And walking out our door
So bored with everything
Yeah but can you see
How I'm getting through this
See how I get along
See how
Nothing could go wrong
Unless my gun just happens to go off
and you just happened to stand in the way

Allergic Reactions
(Album:
The
Heavyweight Champions)
You told me your name, but I forgot it
You told what you did and I forgave you
You told where you live and I believed you
All I got from you: allergic reactions
D. Matthews
(Album: The
Heavyweight Champions)
Lost you
You lost yourself
Lost what I liked in you
But now I'm on to something else
I'm on to something else
And now you're back in my mind
And now I see you again
And all the time I wasted trying to find somebody else
But now you're back in my mind
And everything I tried to find in everybody else
Was nothing to hold on to
The door closed behind my back
I wasn't facing you
No-one's fault I guess
Apologised to no-one
