NY Trip — B-side to The Only One 7”/CD singles

“One by one they drop” you said
“Left us two on a ride stopped dead…”
“It’s monkeys on the track
All fell out of their tree…
Lost their tails” I said
“In the deep dark sea…”

So, take me on the ice and push me around
And every time I fall, I kiss the ground
You skate on by without a sound
Yeah, I’m in love with you cold
Any warmer and I drown

Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Oh, anything at all
I’m only here to please you
In any way I can
There’s really nothing in the world
I won’t do
To get a New York Disney smile from you

Ow! You’re so beautiful it hurts
Ow! The most beautiful girl I ever…
Ow! Too beautiful for words
Now please! Inside beside me
And let’s take on the world

“One by one they drop” you said
“Left us two on a ride stopped dead…”
“It’s hard to be sure
But I swear they’re whales
Swimming down the line
Spitting monkey tails…”

So, drag me on the floor and get me to twirl
And every twist around I buss you first
You spin right through
A perfect blur
Yeah, I’m in love with you quick
Any slower and I burst

Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Yeah anything at all
I’m only here to please you
In any way I can
There’s really nothing in the world
I won’t do
To get a New York Disney smile from you

Ow! You’re so beautiful it hurts
Ow! The most beautiful girl I ever…
Ow! Too beautiful for words
Now please! Inside beside me
And let’s take on the world

“One by one they drop” you said
“Left us two on a ride stopped dead…”
“It’s vultures on the rail
And they’re packed down tight
Best get close” I said
Yeah, this could take all night…”

All Kinds of Stuff — B-side to Freakshow 7”/CD singles

So maybe I took too much
Yeah, maybe I lost my touch
Or maybe all kinds of stuff
Yeah, maybe…

Promise me it comes around again
It doesn’t matter if it’s true
I beg you please don’t take away
The only hope I have to get
Another go with you
And I will change me back
To how I was before
I really understood
The easy way to less is always more

Beautiful!
I should have sung it like that
Beautiful!
I should have sung it right back
Yeah yeah yeah
I should have sung it to you then
Yeah yeah yeah…
I should have sung it to the end

Maybe I wouldn’t be here now
I should have sung it to you then
Maybe I didn’t know how
I should have sung it to the end
Maybe I couldn’t get the time
I should have sung it to you then
Maybe I hadn’t got why…

So maybe I took too much
Yeah, maybe I lost my touch
Or maybe all kinds of stuff
Yeah, maybe…

Promise me it runs around
It doesn’t matter if it’s all a lie
I only want the dream of us
Together like it was
Before you realized the
Why it is we only get one way to know
A night
I wish I’d got back then
The easy way to wrong is never right

Wonderful!
I should have sung it like that
Wonderful!
I should have sung it right back
Yeah yeah yeah
I should have sung it to you then
Yeah yeah yeah…
I should have sung it to the end

Maybe I wouldn’t be here now
I should have sung it to you then
Maybe I didn’t know how
I should have sung it to the end
Maybe I couldn’t get the time
I should have sung it to you then
Maybe I hadn’t got why…

So maybe I took too much
Yeah, maybe I lost my touch
Or maybe all kinds of stuff
No, maybe…
I fucked this up

Down Under — B-side to Sleep When I’m Dead 7”/CD singles

Around the sea green pool, we spin
The mermaid singing songs
To pull us in
To swim with him, she slides up slow
To fall…down under

Bright burning eyes the only clue
To who plays what plays when plays
You just blew my cue
To drown his tears
For all in wonder
Unlucky start I smile
But twice is helpless
Fizz down nice as black with ice
Disguise the stroke
Entice them out
To call their number

Lean in and breathe in
As low as you choose
Remember not all games are won
By the last one to lose…

Her tail I tell his head we break
The trick is how to fake the first mistake
To make them take
The easy choice
Too close to care how
But wet spot sometime changes stripe
And day to night
If every wrong is right
I dry your eye
You bite my lip
We’re almost there now

Lean in and breathe in
As low as you choose
Remember not all games are won…

Without You — B-side to The Perfect Boy 7”/CD singles

Anything at all
But you know I can’t stop
It’s life on the moon
All this talk of giving up
Life is too short
For it not to be true
The best idea I think
Is for me to go my way…

Anything at all
But don’t want me to change
Hard to understand
When a plan is this strange
And life is too big
Yeah, it has to be true
Oh, the best idea I think
Is for me to go my way…

If all that you want
Is how it could be
You may as well go now
There’s no wait and see…

Anything at all
But don’t ask me to fade
You have to accept
I can’t ever play safe
Life is too real
For it not to be true
Oh, the best idea I think
Is for me to go my way…

If all that you want
Is how it could be
You may as well go
No, there’s no wait and see
It will always be wrong
If all I won’t give
Is all that you want
It’s a strange way
To live and let live

When all that you do
Is measure me up
Falling shorter than you
It’s a strange way to love
All this ‘be as I want’
When I know that you know
I can’t fade
Change
Or stop

So, anything at all
But you know I won’t choose
If all you could win
Is all I would lose
When life is too rare
Yeah, it has to be true
The best idea I think
Is for me to go my way…
Without you
