MORE ALONE

ALBUM: BRAXTON HICKS, 2004 I've been doing the strangest dreaming I left not knowing where I was going And you're so misty and I'm so twisted by the way I feel I'm spinning like a wheel My love is so surreal Walked for ages through different stages Of all my failures and past disclaimers And in this city being lost aint pretty like it used to be Now when my mind is free Things get on top of me Oh, I'm more alone when I'm with you There, you got me There's no hiding the future's riding On coming clean with the past I'm fighting Cos when you're with me I'm forced to see me as I really am I'm not s'posed to be thinking of you At least not this way but now it's too late And you're so misty and I'm so messed up in this reverie I'm never gonna be all that I hoped I'd be Oh, I'm more alone when I'm with you There, you got me I'm done with holding out for the sky Opportunity passes me by Cos it's true you don't think of me The way I think of you Come on admit it it's true Oh, I'm more alone when I'm with you There, you got me

LOADED GUN

ALBUM: BRAXTON HICKS, 2004 I'm a grave digger I'm a thief stealing your bones You're an old liar History revisionist You're trying to be cool but you're falling asleep at the wheel And how do you think when your heart is the last place you feel? And every time you're saying "Everything's fine". And I don't know why But this loaded gun is just what I've been waiting for I'm a wanderer I'm a dreamer, dreaming away You're a long distance memory I rescusitate You're trying to be cool but you're falling asleep at the wheel And how do you think when your heart is the last place you feel? And every time you're saying "Everything's fine" And I don't know why But this loaded gun is just what I've been waiting for It's just what I've been waiting for.

IT'S OVER

ALBUM: BRAXTON HICKS, 2004 Long ago in days gone by It was much simpler for the guy And when The Cure sang "Boy's don't cry" I said I had something in my eye You were right when you said I was wrong It's over And right before the storm I told you everything I know thats not good form but feeling is the most peculiar sport I might get bored but I could never tell you that it's over Spent too long staring out for stars I lost control and crashed my car I hadn't even got that far Left my good fortune at the bar You were right when you said I was wrong It's over And right before the storm I told you everything I know that's not good form but feeling is the most peculiar sport I might get bored but I could never tell that it's over It's over.

NO SLEEP

ALBUM: BRAXTON HICKS, 2004 You got your very own Watergate There ain't no easy way out And if you wanna be social oh yeah You better scream when you shout I'll take you out where you wanna go Yeah we can buy us some thrills It's not the size of the night out oh no It's the size of the pills Come on No sleep Sunday We don't do it to get away Only to Amplifier And we don't wanna get fucked up on no We just wanna get high So come on, come on I got a feeling it won't take long Get out, cut loose I got a feeling you know what to do Come on No sleep Sunday

SEW YOUR LIFE

ALBUM: BRAXTON HICKS, 2004 In light of recent trends come gather round your friends So much to talk about but words just won't come out Oh no The future is heel bent it won't stop when you say "when" This atmosphere is staid just why are we so afraid? Cos we're always impatient with the mess we created And we're always frustrated or something But you can sew your life back together You can sew your life back In light of recent trends come gather round your friends Cos something's going wrong it hits just like a bomb Cos we're always elated with the prize overstated It's like we're always inflated or something But you can sew your life back together You can sew your life back

FIRST TIME

ALBUM: BRAXTON HICKS, 2004 There's a first time for everything You don't have to be the alter boy to sing There's a last time for nothing Until you die of course in which case there may be But I'm holding on to the learning and the reading I've been doing About what awaits us on the other side There's a first time for everything So if you want it don't be shy girl just jump in You might find out if you do nothing You'll regret it for as long as you're living And I know that it's not easy to believe in what I'm saying But if we're gonna make it we just gotta try When on a losing streak day will everything wind up ok? This could be the end of the line or this could be just like our first time I've been a fool for so long Could something so right be so wrong? This could be the end of the line Let's make it just like our first time And I know that it's not easy to believe me, lord knows I agree To the point where I can't even believe it myself Believe it myself But if you do I will But if you do, yeah if you do There'll be a first time!

BRAXTON HICKS

ALBUM: BRAXTON HICKS, 2004 Consider all you've got to lose Consider life and what you choose Consider everything cos you might not get it back I've got an itch under my skin I'm walking balancing on pins With nowhere safe to fall and the walls are closing in I got a truth that noone knows and my desperation grows There must be something that I missed tell me that there's more than this I got a womb to call my own I got a room to crawl in alone And when I make it out I'm gonna do it on my own And all these lights on in my head Are put out in my sleep instead Dreams of black and white are waking up to life in red I've got a truth that no one knows and my desperation grows There must be something that I missed tell me that there's more than this Braxton Hicks!

THE SEVEN SIGNS OF AGEING

ALBUM: BRAXTON HICKS, 2004 The seven signs of ageing's gonna strike when you're alone The seven signs of ageing's gonna shake you to your bones I hadn't noticed that the lights had changed I only noticed you were gone a long, long lonely time ago and it really shook me up What on Earth had I done? The seven signs of ageing's gonna strike when you're alone The seven signs of ageing's gonna shake you to your bones When you've got the sun in your eyes don't let them see you cry Some people walk along this avenue with hands in pockets and eyes to ground Just lost, lost in this city slowly growing old At least that's what I've found The seven signs of ageing.

YOU OUGHTTA KNOW

ALBUM: BRAXTON HICKS, 2004 Your eyes are just like mine I wonder what you're thinking about I can't figure it out You climb right up my spine Just so you can get a better look at what's on my mind I've got opinions that I can't afford to say And my words don't really matter anyway You've been gone for so long do your friends know what's wrong? Why don't you run away? Your lies are just like mine I wonder what you're trying to hide Tell me what's up inside Or I'll climb right up your spine just so I can get a better look at what's on your mind I'd live on your street but I can't afford the rent And my memories shot I can't think where it went You've been gone for so long do your friends know what's wrong? Why don't you run away? Now the whites of your eyes give away your disguise Why don't you run away? All your friends that you just gotta vist more The further you're kept away the less it makes you wanna stay You oughtta know Yeah now you oughtta know.

NOTHING

ALBUM: BRAXTON HICKS, 2004 I'm on the outside. And now there's nothing left to think about Because there's nothing going in or out And now there's nothing left to live without With so much nothing left to go around And now there's nothing left for me to do Because there's nothing small that's getting through Now all the nothing makes up everything You just can't be a part of anything Think about nothing In. Out. Nothing Nowhere. Nothing. Bring out your dead!
