These should be the best days of your live
But You worry all the goodness away
these should be the times that you remember the most
but you havent got the patience to day
Down at the station a driver leaves late
Everyone's days are adrift
Well it's a domino effect and
It's lost you our respect so you better get your boss a gift

cos they're tired of, tired of hanging around
Yeah they're tired of, tired of hanging around
yes they're tired of tired of hanging around

The bus turned up and you wouldn't believe
The Driver had an attitude
Well he gave my pass a check and
he gave me no respect and it's got me in a terrible mood
He's oblivious to all the pain that he's caused
and all the pain that he's about to make
Well i hope the next person to be
the wrong person will wipe that stupid look off his face

So they're tired of, tired of hanging around
Yeah they're tired of, tired of hanging around
yes they're tired of tired of hanging around

These should be the best days of our lives
but we worried them all away
And these should be the times
we remmeber the most but we havent got the patience today

So we're tired of, tired of hanging around
Yeah we're tired of, tired of hanging around
yes we're tired of tired of hanging around

So we're tired of, tired of hanging around
Yeah we're tired of, tired of hanging around
yes we're tired of tired of hanging around

(Repeated til the end)

Well i woke this morning with a tear drop in my eye
Because last night it fell like the best night of my life
Now there's something that is wrong rotting my insides
And i don't understand why my brain wants to die
I had women, wine, party time and everything that mattered
And when i woke up today you know my brain was all in tatters
I had bits of my lungs shrapnel glass and cigarettes for breakfast
And my lips are blue, my toes are numb and i think i've got the shivers

It's the little things that we do when you go out in the night
And it's pay day today just for having a good time
As your hangover unfolds well the questions will arrive
Why do i feel like death for having a good time

so i get up and go down the stairs and try to make a sandwich
But the ham and chesse, margarine they speak an evil language
It says "don't eat me
I dont deserve to be there in your stomach"
And I break on down and cry why do good times turn to bummers

It's the little things that we do when you go out in the night
And it's pay day today just for having a good time
As your hangover unfolds well the questions will arrive
Why do i feel like death for having a good time

Well sometimes i go out by myself and i look across the water
And I think of all the things,
what you're doing and in my head i make a picture

'cos since i've come on home , well my body's been a mess
And i've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie?Valerie?

Did you have to go to jail, put your house up for sale,
did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didnt catch a tan
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it up for ya
Are you shoppin' anywhere,
changed the colour of your hair , are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine
you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy

Cos since i've come home, well my body's been a mess
And i've missed your ginger hair and the way you dress
Won't you come on over stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie? Valerie? Valerie? Valerie?

Well sometimes i go out by myself and i look across the water
And I think of all the things,
what you're doing and in my head i make a picture

Cos since i've come home, well my body's been a mess
And i've missed your ginger hair and the way you dress
Won't you come on over stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie? Valerie? Valerie? Valerie?...

Well I'm sure there's someone watching over me
at might, while i'm sleeping.
'Cos no harm ever seems to come to me,
at night,while i'm sleeping

They never let me wake to see
who could be standing and guarding me
And when the morning comes
they never seem to stick around

I see demons and spys with Cyclops eyes
at night, while i'm sleeping.
And girls with claws and blood-stained floors
at night, while i'm sleeping.
I see bullets of steel and they clip my heels
at night, while i'm sleeping
And all the blades they spin and slit my skin
at night, while i'm sleeping

I must have had a hundres fights and changed from dark into light.
But when i awoke all this violence and pain was all right

I'm gonna wait alone under my sheets and pretend to close my eyes
And i will wait until the sun comes up
I will wait all night
I don't care if you dopn't come and show yourself
'cos i know you're always near me
And when it's dark again i'll count to ten and you'll be standing by me

Everyone's got secrets
dirty little secrets
Have i got one on you
(Have i got one on you)
Although they may be secrets,
they may show your weakness
Well are they really true
(well are they really true)

Don't tell your mates
on the council estates
cos there's no one to trust
Don't tell the sky as it spits down in your eye
but tell the priest if you must

cos everyone's got problems
everyone's got problems
And everyone's got stress
Controlling our relations avoiding situations
That end up in a mess

Don't be afraid
if your thoughts are mislaid
cos there's nothing to fear
Don't get upset if your memories
make regrets because we've all got them here

Secrets , secrets, secrets
Are for keeping, keeping, keeping
And if you tell them
They lose their meaning

Don't tell your mates
on the council estates
cos there's no one to trust
Don't tell the sky as it spits down in your eye
but tell the priest if you must

Secrets , secrets, secrets
Are for keeping, keeping, keeping
And if you tell them
They lose their meaning x 2

Everyone's got secrets
dirty little secrets
Have i got one on you
(Have i got one on you)
Although they may be secrets,
they may show your weakness
Well are they really true
(well are they really true) x 3

How does it feel to have love to have lost
And i know how to feel anymore
And how many times do you have to be cruel to be kind
And show feelings the door
Well isn't it strange how much you can change
in a year or minute or more
How can it go from so good to so bad
and my soul is now squished on the floor

How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel on your own
when you can't even deal with yourself

How can i move the ground is so loose
And the sun wants to peel off my skin
And how can i laugh when my mouth is held back
And i'm struggling now just to grin
I hold myself up till i run out of luck
While the world carries on in a spin
And now it's so real and it's paying off well
cos my feelings are letting me in

How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel on your own
when you can't even deal with yourself

I've been asking the same old questions
time and time again
I find that i don't want to live this life
but i know that i'll have to pretend
Cos everyone's hiding from the truth
and they're just lying to themselves
How do you expect me to deal
with this when i can't even deal with myself

How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel on your own
when you can't even deal with yourself

I've been asking the same old questions time and time again
I find that i don't want to live this life
but i know that i'll have to pretend
Cos everyone's hiding from the truth
and they're just lying to themselves
How do you expect me to deal
with this when i can't even deal with myself

What can I do, what can I say
To make you want me more
To have your love and show you more
That's all I'm asking for,
I've been around the block so many times
And I need a place to stop

I only want whats right for you
And you could be right for us
I hear the same thing all the time
And you know that I don't care
I don't like the way your hanging around
And I sure don't like your hair

Ooo oooh
Why won't you give me your love?
Ooo oooh
Why won't you give me your love?

I chain you up I make you mine I keep you
Locked downstairs with all the bugs
And all the rats I'll feed you rodent hair
I'll keep you in my celler safe
And I'll keep you there 'till dawn
I'll wait until the sun comes up
Then I'll poke and prod you more into your tired
And your having a date
But that don't mean much to me
And when I see you out in town
I'm gonna hide so you can't see

Ooo oooh
Why wont you give me your love?
Ooo oooh
Why wont you give me tour love?

Why wont you give me your love,
Why wont you give me your love,
Why wont you give me your love,
Why wont you give me your love (give me your love)
Why wont you give me your love (give me your love)
Why wont you give me your love?

Oh stacey, look what you've done
You think that your the only one

Well she should have gone to school,
and she should have made it through, but she never
And she should have studied hard,
and she should have played the part, but she never
Oh she should have kept her head
and got out of bed more in the mornings
And she should have had her day,
she'd have done it her way but she never

She made her father worry 'til he was sick
Found him on the couch one night all cold and stiff
Now she drinks away the Will and she's not proud of it

Oh stacey, look what you've done
You think that your the only one

Well she should have had more time to get to know the world a little better
And she should have had more friends to glue her brain and stick it back together
But she had to go around and disagree with everyone she knew
And now all her friends
they're going to help her spend her fortune

She made her father worry 'til he was sick
Found him on the couch one night all cold and stiff
Now she drinks away the Will and she's not proud of it

"Oh mother was it always going to be this way?"
It didnt have to daughter but i knew that's what you'd say
"I will put flowers on and visit every week"
But that won't wake your father from his everlasting sleep.

She made her father worry 'til he was sick
Found him on the couch one night all cold and stiff
Now she drinks away the Will and she's not proud of it

You've got a friend in me darlin', You've got a friend in me
Cos when i looked at your face, I've seen a wonderful place
And I knew it was there for me
You've got the sweetest smile darlin', you've got it all for me
Cos when i looked at your eyes, i've seen a terrible prize
And i knew it was there for me

You follow me home when i'm finished in work
Your creeping so quietly so i dont' get scared
I sit in your garden on your fence at night
I'm watching you live through the day and the night

You've got a friend in me darlin', You've got a friend in me
Cos when i looked at your face, I've seen a wonderful place
And I knew it was there for me
You've got the sweetest smile darlin', you've got it all for me
Cos when i looked at your eyes, i've seen a terrible prize
And i knew it was there for me

Upstairs downstairs watching me move
You'd never let me see you, you couldn't face the truth
I feel like i know you in every way
Though we've never spoke and we never say

Let me see where you go, let me follow you home
Let me, i want to know, because
i know that its meant for me darlin'
know that it's meant for me

And even if i stop to say hello
There's so many things you don't know
I've got a perfect picture of you this way
And if i got to know you it could all change

And even if i stop to say hello
There's so many things you don't know
I've got a perfect picture of you this way
And if i got to know you it could all change

I want a new love, i'm sick of this pass time
But i'm scared of new love,
it's been such a long time

You got a friend
You got a friend
you got a friend in me

;Cos it's alright, to go out at night and forget who you are
Alright, then its' up in the mornin' and back to the start

Hello conscience, how do you do?
I've come a long way to talk with you
You've been causing chaos for much too long
And these mixed up emotions are much too strong
I hear you've got a problem with the way i am
But loneliness never seems to understannd
Every time i hear the fizzing on my cup
I hold my head high and say good luck

Cos it's alright, to go out at night and forget who you are
Alright, then its' up in the mornin' and back to the start
t's alright, to go out at night and forget who you are
Alright, then its' up in the mornin' and back to the start

Hello sunshine, how are things goin'?
You come up every day but i'm nerver showin'
I guess me and you, we don't get along
With nothing in common, nothin's wrong
I spend a lot of time with the big white moon
Down in the cellar I'll be drinking soon
I can't help sleeping through the sunny day
Tired in bed but that's OK

Cos it's alright, to go out at night and forget who you are
Alright, then its' up in the mornin' and back to the start
It's alright, to go out at night and forget who you are
Alright, then its' up in the mornin' and back to the start

Got a couple of friends that are dying to meet you
They're going to be in town for a little while
So if you come after me
they're going to steal your sight so can't see
So relax and sit back instead?

It's alright...
(repeat til end)

There's something going on 'round here, in this neighb ourhood
But what it is i'm not quite sure, in this neighbourhood
I just can't put my finger on, what makes me bite my nails,
and later on i feel the same, as though i would.
The people never say hello, they just walk on past
I try to look inside those cars, but its blackened glass.
I hear the screams late at night, behind my bedroom wall
And later on i'll do the same, and hear the drunk man call

Well i know i'll never leave , 'cos there's no way out for me
Now and then i tend to dream, dream of what might be

Well i know i'll nver leave, cos there's no way out for me.
There's a fear that i know, If i left where would i go?

The pavement has a cactus skin, and a knife like edge.
My feet keep sticking to the floor, where my toes have bled.
I hear the screams late at night , behind my bedroom wall.
And later on i'll do the same, and hear the drunk man call.
Where's the love that i once had? It's dying somewhere in the past
I sold my TV, radio. To someone, someone i don't know

Well i know i'll never leave , 'cos there's no way out for me
Now and then i tend to dream, dream of what might be

Well i know i'll nver leave, cos there's no way out for me.
There's a fear that i know, If i left where would i go?

Well i know i'll never leave , 'cos there's no way out for me
Now and then i tend to dream, dream of what might be

Well i know i'll nver leave, cos there's no way out for me.
There's a fear that i know, If i left where would i go?
