Dough Re Mi
02:32
|
|||
the cookie DOUGH was still unfinished
RAYS of sunlight gleaming off the stainless bowl
it took ME too long to realise
what I thought was home is FAR from home
and sticks and stones couldn’t help me
and jam and scones couldn’t help me
ascending tones couldn’t help me
and these unknowns couldn’t help me at all
oh no, not at all
SO I learnt to take my baggage
and LA-la-lug it all behind me fast
TEA gets cold and DOUGH gets old
and I know that all good things cannot last
and sticks and stones couldn’t help me
and jam and scones couldn’t help me
ascending tones couldn’t help me
and these unknowns will never help me at all

I Whisk You Were Here

I whisk you were here
why aren’t you near me?
I want you to call
I want you to care
I want you to be there
I whisk you were here
why can’t you hear me?
I want you to see
I want you to care
I want you to be there for me again
I whisk you were here
I want you here with me
I miss you so much
I’d die for a touch
I’d die for no reason at all
I whisk you were here
I wish you were here

Sweet as Sugar
01:22
|

well you know I’ve been sweet as sugar to you
let you do whatever you wanted to do
but my patience is wearing thin
my endurance is running out
you strain my nerves with your reservations and doubt
well you know I’ve been sweet as sugar for days
but maybe I ought to put you into your place
you’ve no right to be so bold
your temper is getting old
you’re grating on me with this contrarian phase
ba ba ba da da da da…
well you know I’ve been sweet as sugar and more
but I don’t quite know what I’m being sweet for
my efforts are going nowhere
my anger is boiling over
maybe it’s time that I showed you to the door

Apple of My Pie
02:13
|

you’re the apple of my pie
you’re the flower/flour of my heart
you’re the apple of my pie
you’re the stop and you’re the start
you’re the reason I would wait for hours
in this god-forsaken oven of a town
I could swear that you have got leavening powers
‘cause my spirits rise whenever you’re around!
you’re the apple of my pie
you’re the currents/currants in my stream
you’re the apple of my pie
you’re the skill and you’re the thrill and you’re the dream
you’re the reason I would wait for hours
in this god-forsaken oven of a town
I could swear that you have got leavening powers
‘cause when you are with me nothing gets me down!
you’re the apple of my pie…

Half-Baked
03:48
|

you think you’re so clever, don’t you honey?
you walk that high wire over everybody else
you think you’ve got guts if you say so yourself
you crave attention, don’t you baby?
too proud to mention to anybody else
your true intentions or if you need help
but your plans are so half-baked
thinking this’ll be a piece of cake
but you just can’t have your cake
and eat it too
yeah you’re going off half-cocked
thinking this’ll be a cakewalk
but if you make your bed
you’ll have to lie in it too
you want to be at the center of it all
always for free and you’re sure to have a ball
it’s guaranteed if you trust yourself to freefall
you have your ways of ignoring the truth
yes you have your ways of denying the proof
that’s in the pudding if you’d only see it
but your plans are so half-baked
thinking this’ll be a piece of cake
but you just can’t have your cake
and eat it too
yeah you’re going off half-cocked
thinking this’ll be a cakewalk
but if you make your bed
you’ll have to lie in it too
do do do do do do do do do…
yeah your plans are so half-baked
thinking this’ll be a piece of cake
but you just can’t have your cake
and eat it too
yeah you’re going off half-cocked
thinking this’ll be a cakewalk
but if you dig your grave
you’ll have to lie in it too
oh if you dig your grave
you’ll have to lie in it too
yes if you dig your grave
you’ll have to lie in it too
