Lifestyle Lover

Pretty in pink
That’s what you think
Other worldly on the weekend
Gotta go slow
Or burnout the glow
Just steady
In between them
Follow, follow, follow
That path of moving along
Come across easy
Before it all goes wrong
A lifestyle, lifestyle lover
A lifestyle, lifestyle lover
Follow x7
I didn’t meet anybody lately
Who didn’t seem too busy to call me
Running, running, running around madly
Clanging, clanging, clanging around with all your tools
A lifestyle, lifestyle lover
A lifestyle, lifestyle lover
And while I wait for your love to shine
I’ll open the gate for this temporarily mine
A lifestyle lover is all that I need
Come and go freely
A lifestyle lover, not everyday fare
Just the right pace to keep the blues at bay
The blues at bay
At bay
A lifestyle, lifestyle lover
A lifestyle, lifestyle lover
It’s no mistake he’s incompatible
But so are you, so I guess that says it all
Follow follow follow (pretty in pink)
Follow follow follow follow (that’s what you think)
Follow follow follow (pretty in pink)
Follow follow follow follow

Take What We Can Get
03:14
|
|||
|
I thought I was moving on
But again a dead end
Thought I’d go and meet someone
Guess we can have new friends
I’m learning the hard way
It’s not such an easy find
As I sit here lonely
One step at a time
I don’t know what’s wrong with me
I don’t think I want too much
How strong do I have to be
To go without a human touch
Each person here has to breathe
One breath at a time
If love is a basic need
Why’s it hard to find
We take, we take, we take what we can get
We take, we take, we take what we can get
Just give me what you’ve got
And I’ll take what I can get
Stories told so vividly
Of losing out on love
Don’t throw away your biggest chance
One gift from above
But the way I see it
Yes there’s more in store
I find it hard to believe
That there won’t be more
Everyone wants more
Always something better on the other side
Everyone craves more
And we won’t stand still and be satisfied
Until everything in our path is destroyed

Open my eyes up and it’s all just a blur
Another day, feelin’ rough, gotta get myself to work
I’m in this rat race n I’m goin’ nowhere
Rude alarm is goin’ off but I just couldn’t care, just give me
One more minute, one minute more
Snooze time is passin’, my phone’s on the floor
My cat’s trying to drag it away with its paw
This grind is torment, what is it all for?
But right now all I need is one minute more, just give me
One more minute, one minute more
One more minute, one minute more
Your future’s set right, but what about mine
I’m doing good, helping out, I’m towing the line
But my soul is stirring, is this my whole life?
There must be more, show me now, c’mon give me a sign
Open the skies up
Open my eyes up
Give me my dreams back
I won’t let this go (won’t let, won’t let, won’t let)
One more minute, one minute more
Ahhhhhh rrrrrrrrrraaaahhhhhhhh (yawn)

Creepin, crawlin, creepin, crawlin
When will I fall in love
When will you find me
Dreamin, floating above the clouds
When will I fall in love
When will you see me
Lazing in luxury, flying high above the clouds
I still want to see my love reflected
My actions changing someone’s life everyday
It’s a love reflected, reflected love
Reflected love, reflected love
You know and I know
The future takes care of itself
And the past doesn’t matter anymore
But time is mocking me
She tells me my hurts are gone
Then why, oh why can’t I move on?
I still wanna see my love reflected
I’m thinkin bout you every night every day
It’s a love reflected, reflected love
Reflected love, reflected love
Creepin, crawlin, creepin, crawlin
So does my love exist?
Does it exist without your love
If you creep in, crawl in
Will I wade in with you?
Lady time reminds me
I was scarred, I was broken
But I accepted it
Well maybe that’s not the point
I still lick my wounds from time to time
I can’t find fault with you
So don’t go looking for it
You fit with me
You fit with me too
I have to believe we are meant to be
We have to believe we are meant to be

Chameleon
03:12
|

|
Oh oh oh oh
I’m a chameleon
Oh oh oh oh
I’m a chameleon
I can go which way you like
Be who you want without even trying
I’ll be calm, cool intellectual
I’ll dance all night it’s your call
I can go anywhere you choose
Road, trail, air or sea, let’s cruise
I’ll be myself when I’m with you
But myself is a mirror image of you
I’ll fit right in with your fam
They’ll say I’m the best you’ve ever had
Your mates will love to hang with me
They’ll never want me to leave
I’m a chameleon
It’s so easy to read your mind
I’ll be your woman
Be the best you’ll find
Yes you know it’s true, or I think it’s sort of true
I can change my colours, when I’m out with others
I’m not gonna hold back, I can change my tack
Yeah I like to blend in, I’m a chameleon
When I’m feeling grim, I still got a grin
If you’re in the rain we can drink away the pain
We can talk about it or moving right along
I won’t fight about it, I’m a chameleon
Yeah you’ll soon find out cos you’ll miss me when I’m out
Who’s gonna be there with you to scream and laugh and shout
I’m not so shy unless you want me to be quiet
If you need that nice girl I can wear my little pearls
If you want me rude as fuck, one of the boys
I can tell you stories, I can show you toys
Call me everytime, cos we gonna run amok,
Call me and it’s on, I’m a chameleon
Oh oh oh oh
I’m a chameleon
Oh oh oh oh
I’m a chameleon

The Mirror
03:22
|
|||
|
I realise what I am
When I am looking in the mirror
I realise what I can
The mirror of your eyes
(no!)
I didn’t expect for you
to come back for more
So I thought I’d let you know
what was on my mind:
You shut me down when I was talking
Gave me a crumb and didn’t buy me a drink
You fell asleep in your Star Wars onesie
Insulted me and told me that I’m crazy
No, no, no, no (no, no)
It’s not gonna flow (no)
So go, go, go, go (no, no, no)
Go back and look in the mirror!
So do you see what I see (no, no)
When you are looking in the mirror?
Too busy criticising me (no, no)
To go and see yourself (no)
I didn’t expect for you
To come back for more (no, no)
So that you could let me know
What was on your mind:
You are insane, you’re rebounding
You’ve got issues and you’re projecting onto me
You’re very cold, you don’t show feelings
You got offended and walked out like a baby
No, no, no, no (no, no)
It’s not gonna flow (no)
So go, go, go, go (no, no)
Now I gotta go (no)
Oh, no, no, no, no (no, no)
It’s not gonna flow (no)
So go, go, go, go (no, no, no)
Go back and look in the mirror!
No, no, no, no …
So no, no, no, no (no, no)
It’s not gonna flow (no)
Go, go, go, go (no, no)
Yeah you gotta go (no)
Oh no, no, no, no (no, no)
It’s not gonna flow (no)
So go, go, go, go (no, no, no)
Go back and look in the mirror!

Waiting
03:38
|
|||
|
Will I ever stop waiting for you?
Will my grey skies ever turn blue?
Is there someone looking for me?
Is there somewhere I need to be?
I am always looking
I am always looking
And the stars won’t shine
And the sun won’t rise
Til I find you
My heart’s always breaking
Not much left for the taking
And I won’t breathe in
And I can’t breathe out
Til I find you
Cos I can’t sit here waiting for you
A lifetime just for skies to turn blue
Are you out there looking for me?
How long until we’re gonna meet?
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Find me, find me, release me, let me breathe
Will I ever stop waiting for you?
Will my grey skies ever turn blue?
Is there someone looking for me?
Is there somewhere I need to be?
I am always looking
I am always looking
And the stars won’t shine
And the sun won’t rise
Til I find you
My heart’s always breaking
Not much left for the taking
And I won’t breathe in
And I can’t breathe out
Til I find you

Sugar Coated
03:35
|
|||
|
Whisper in my ear
Tell me what I want to hear
Then you laugh at me
Joking sarcastically
Tell me what you think
Cos somehow I suspect
The first word that comes into your head
Won’t be respect
Gazing longingly
Holding hands so sweetly
Then we’re bickering
Argue too frequently
You quote me to me
Hate it when I contradict
You hang around, you never leave
Then you say I’m the addict
Don’t sugar coat it honey
You’re just biding time
And all I see are red flags
And warning signs
Your head is so big
The world revolves around you
Your fave activity
Is to tell me what to do
I felt the whole realm
Of emotion everyday
And feel like this couldn’t possibly be
The natural way
I laugh a lot
I cry a lot
Red flames of anger keep love at bay
Will it ever be easy
I sulk a lot
I swear a lot
What is it that makes me stay
When leaving would please me
Don’t sugar coat it honey
You’re just biding time
And all I see are red flags
And warning signs

Tumble
03:41
|
|||
|
This is the calmest moment
Before anyone said anything wrong
This is the calmest moment
No one’s annoyed, no resentment
But it won’t be long
No it won’t be long
Before we tumble
Thimble on your thumb
Thimble on your thumb
Patch up the holes in our hearts
Cos I don’t know if I can get up
From one more tumble
Tumble
Tumble
Thimble on your thumb
This is the calmest moment
Before fiery red passion
This is the calmest moment
When we have it all
There’s further to fall
But it won’t be long
No it won’t be long
Before we tumble
Thimble on your thumb
Thimble on your thumb
Reach right in and pull out my heart
Cos I don’t know if I can get up
From one more tumble
Tumble
Tumble
Thimble on your thumb.

Toy Boy
03:30
|
|||
|
He’s just a toy boy and he can’t be tamed
He’s just a toy boy and he can’t be blamed
He doesn’t know better
It’s all just a game
Cos he’s just a toy boy
It’s always the same
Now I should know better
It’s me who should change
Who’s more immature?
A coming of age
I asked him so often
Are we at the same stage
But he never told me
Just held in the rage
I asked you nicely
To treat me gently
I’ve got feelings too
But you had to go
And trample on my head
Why’d you have to go and break my heart
He’s just a toy boy and he can’t be tamed
He’s just a toy boy and he can’t be blamed
It happened so quickly
Ripped off the bandaid
Yeah he’s just a toy boy it’s me who got framed

Morning Love
03:06
|
|||
|
I have to tell you something now
(And I really don’t know how)
It’s been such a very long time
(Since someone put a smile)
On my face the way you do
Oooooh
We went to bed last night
(And everything was fine)
We chatted and we kissed and said good night
(and all through the night)
I smiled in my sleep and dreamt of you
Ooooooh
But in the morning
I wake up
I feel so different
All I can say
Over and over again
In my head
Are these three words
I love you, I love you
oooh
So what am I supposed to do
(I can’t be saying it first)
And I don’t wanna say it too soon
(I can’t say it knowing that the)
Same won’t be said by you
Ooooh
In the morning
I can’t escape
These strong feelings
Give me back the night
(Senses dulled by wine)
There was no fight
I was happy to wait
For the right time
Now the sun is out and
And I can’t keep it in
I love you, I love you
Oooooh
