I’ll miss Westmoreland House
When they finally pull it down
Like I miss my goofy teeth
From when I was 13
I’ll miss the old greenhouse
And the sheds around the back
When they turn the lot
Into apartment blocks
Time plays games but he doesn’t mess around
He’ll catch you up the more you try to slow him down
I’ll miss hanging out
when you’re no longer about
Or when I have moved on
Or when we both have gone
I’ll miss this crummy world
When it all gets set on fire
When the buildings have collapsed
And everything goes black
Time plays games but he doesn’t mess around
He’ll catch you up the more you try to slow him down
I said time plays games but he doesn’t piss around
He’ll trip you up the more you try to slow him down
Slow him down
I can’t take it with me, I know
I might as well let it go

Ghost

I was waiting at the bus stop
waiting for my bus to stop
but when I held out my hand, it wouldn't slow down
man, it wouldn't slow down
I was taking it easy
then easy overtook me
and left me for dead, oh the voice in my head
is filled with regret, with regret, with regret
and Monday's looking so miserable,
maybe Tuesday is too
you're talking to yourself in the mirror
asking "what can I do?"
and your friends won't pick up the telephone
even the ones you held close
and when the automatic door won't open for you
you feel like a ghost
I was standing at the terminal
for 5, 6, 17 hours
waiting for my plane but my plane never came
my plane never came
so then I screamed into the system
but the system was broken
I tried to take it up with the authorities
but the authorities wouldn't listen to me, no no
and Monday's looking so miserable,
maybe Tuesday is too
you're talking to yourself in the mirror
asking "what can I do?"
and your friends won't pick up the telephone
even the ones you held close
and when the automatic door won't open for you
you feel like a ghost
Saturday's looking so lonely,
maybe Sunday is too,
talking to yourself in the mirror
asking "what can I do?"
and your friends won't pick up the telephone
even the ones you thought were true
some days you just feel shit about the world
and the world feels shit about you

Deputy

guess that I'll live longer than some good ones
guess that I'll go sooner than some bad ones
cos the good lord gives and he takes away
in a way that doesn't make sense to me
guess that it's a good job that he's the top dog
and I am just a deputy
guess I could have ended up a narwhal
or some other ocean-dwelling animal
but the big man didn't give me the choice
to be a blue whale or a porpoise
I'd have been a big deal as an elephant seal
or swimming as a manatee
time will tell the way that only time can
if it's a good thing I was born a human
with such big visions and such great plans
but such a small mind and such tiny hands
yeah it's a good job that I'm not at the top
I'm better as a deputy
I'm better as a deputy
I'd rather be a deputy

Our Year

my little melting ice cream
you're looking like a nice dream
hot summer fever
made me a believer
sun is on the way down
moon is on the way back up
and we're falling back to earth
I know that it's gonna hurt
but baby, this could really be our year
oh and I can see it so clear
feel it from the inside out
I'm left without a shadow
and baby, this could really be our year
believe me I can see it so clear
feel it from the inside out
I'm left without a shadow of doubt
summer's gonna stick around
no more crawling on the ground
no more messing it all up
I can tie my own laces up
and baby, this could really be our year
oh and I can see it so clear
feel it from the inside out
I'm left without a shadow
and baby, this could really be our year
believe me I can see it so clear
feel it from the inside out
I'm left without a shadow of doubt
came so close you know we tried
felt so good I almost cried
and I could still smile inside
when the dream finally died
