Town and Country Club II, London, England

The Big Hand

The big hand makes all of your favourite things
like all your friends look small
And all your dreams will go
And the flowers on the wall
And the words won’t fit
But the way the big hand smiles
You just won’t care about it

The big hand makes all of your favourite things
Like all your dreams go small
And all your friends run away
And the flowers on the wall
And the flowers in the sun
But the way the big hand sings things that you’ve done

But when the big hand speaks
It’s like fireworks and heaven
So you listen and so
Wishing the smiles you get
And when the big hand sings
It’s like fireworks or friends
Leaving alone you said
Leaving alone
Leaving alone you said
I’m leaving alone

The big hand moves up watching everything is clean
With a voice like glass
making out on a [?]
Don’t stop
I dream
Just [?] away [?]

But when the big hand speaks
It’s like fireworks and heaven
So you listen and so
Wishing the smiles you get
and when the big hand sings
It’s like fireworks or friends
Moving away you said
I’m moving away
Leaving alone you said
I’m leaving alone
Leaving alone you said
Leaving alone
Leaving alone you said
I’m leaving alone

Away — This becomes Cut on the Wish album

“This is new as well. It hasn’t got a title. Let’s call it 1-2-3-4.”

If only you’d never speak like that
The way that you do
If only you’d never speak like that
It’s like listening to
[?]
Friendships die
Fires go out and others die
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do

I wish you didn’t look like that
The way that you do
If only you’d never look like that
When I look at you
I see face like [?]
Eyes like ice
Mouth so sweetly telling lies
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
But you don’t
You don’t feel anymore
You don’t care anymore
It’s all gone

If only you’d never speak like that
The way that you do
If only you wouldn’t speak like that
It’s like listening to
Fires go out
Friendships die
Mouth so sweetly telling lies
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
but you don’t
You don’t feel anymore
You don’t care anymore
It’s all gone
It’s all gone
It’s all gone

Again and again
A dream could come true
It’s all up to you
And put a way the dream to come true
Just put
It’s all up to me
Just push

A Letter to Elise

“This is another new one. This one has got a title. It’s called Elise. It’s actually called A Letter to Elise.”

Oh, Elise, it doesn’t matter what you say
I just can’t stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this

Oh, Elise, it doesn’t matter what you do
I know I’ll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue will pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
Away I’d lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
From me and you
There’re worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the smiles your hands can break
Oh, I can take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh, I throw it all away
Like pushing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Yesterday
I stood and stared
A stone in front of you
And way I stood and stared and [?] right out of you
and even when I stood and looked right over you

Elise, believe me, take me away from this
Secretly we’ll slip into all of our promises
Away from it all
Under cover of the night again
And watch the years fall
And then the dream would come back
And be different again

Oh, Elise
It doesn’t matter what we do
I know I’ll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
Oh, please, the blue will pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least I’d lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there’s nothing else I can really do
There’s nothing else I can really do
There’s nothing else
I can really do
At all…

Wendy Time

“This is another new one. These are just songs we’ve been doing, This is called Wendy Time.”

“You look like you could do with a friend” she said
“You look like you could use a word
Like first or follow or fly” she said
And laughing away as she turns
“You look just like a poor boy at the edge of the world”
“And when I die” I said,
“I’ll leave you it all”
Door closes…
Poor boy smiles

“You look like you could do with a friend” she said

And laughing away as she turns
“You look just like a poor boy at the edge of the world”
“And when I die” I said,
“I’ll leave you it all”
Door closes…
Poor boy smiles

It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all

“You look like you could do with a sister” she said
“You look like you need a girl to call your own… like…
Fabulous! Fabulous!
Call me fabulous!”
And laughing away as she turns
“You look just like a poor boy at the edge of the world”
“and when I die” I said,
“I’ll leave you it all”
Door closes…
Poor boy smiles

It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at all

It only goes
[?]
It only goes
But when it comes
Like it always does
Kissing air where when you want
Where when you want
Where when you want
Where when you want
