Emily Haines Album

I've been told I'm living a lie
I've been taught all my life
I've been told I'm living a lie
I've been taught all my life

I haven't got more than one dress mostly,
I wear it out walking to work.
Who else am I?
Getting it wrong almost every time.
Where else, where else am I?
Living alone in my head

Rowboat left in the rain,
Drifting out on the lake,
Where could my one love be?
Oh, rowboat left in the rain,
Drifting by on the lake,
Rescue my one love from the grave.

Whatever it is spit it into a bottle and sell it to me.
I'm looking to buy freedom from my sobriety,
Just like Huey Lewis.

I need a new drug
I need a new drink
I need a new drug that does what it should.

So take me to the bank,
Take me to the bar.
Can you take me to the hot spot?
This is what we worked so hard to afford but...

Take me to the bank.
Can you take me to the bar?
Can you take me to the hot spot?
This is what we worked so hard to afford but how I wanna hide

The next time you visit me here.
How about coming out to my place,
We can sit on the floor and play my brother's records.
We can sit on the grownup bed.

Couple with the coin,
Lighting up to join the coping crowd.
My big brother said to stay unsatisfied,
Never work a day to pay off pure desire.
Couple with the coin,
Lighting up to join the coping crowd

When I'm on will you leave me on?
When I'm on will you leave me on?
And when I'm down will you let me get under?
Take cover, can't hide without a house.
Newspapers blow over.
Can't walk past the driveway without asking for direction,
So full of stupid questions.

When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I'm going to take my time night by night
When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I hang my hands over your eyes to hide

Why not only rescue me?
I watch that telethon,
Got hung up on the word I can't get over, soldier.
When she said nothing is enough, she doesn't mean don't try to fix it.
Make plans with your other hand,
Dream without concession.

When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I'm going to take my time night by night
When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I hang my hands over your eyes to hide

Bruised, Billy Joel, New York state of mind
Bruised, Billy Joel, New York state of mind
Bruised, Billy Joel, New York state of mind
Take cover, take pleasure

Is it true? You used to be my friend.
What did I do? Why didn't I get into your cool crew?
You got a modern loft and a new tattoo of your own name.
Got a single room overlooking the highway under microwave.

For you
Heartbroken
I've been for you

Is it true? You and the other girls,
You all stood in a circle.
So if you left me in a bar at the bottom of the world.

All the followers put the word out around the room.
I'm on my way out, I'll always remember you to stay on the move.

It's true
Heartbroken
I've been for you

It's true, true
Heartbroken
I've been for you
Bottom of the world.
You left me in a bar at the bottom of the world

Fresh
Fresh when sleeping meant every other night
Falling asleep for the fifth time.
Early in the morning,
Falling asleep for the fifth time.
Early in the morning.

Awake in terror, words staring back at him, never to be used.
Their hands on hold,
So quiet, they could hear each other's thinking, denying.
Garner interest, each other's thinking, denying.
Garner interest

Making of life, a forged painting,
Life's big magnet tug, tugging.
Making of life, a forged painting,
Life's big magnet tug, tugging.
And listeners like you
And listeners like you
And listeners like you
And listeners like you

Young, thought as I was
Thought as I was
Thought as I was

Done, thought as I was
Thought as I was
Thought as I was

Get,
Get the line down.
Get the line down.
Get the line down.
Don't elaborate like that
You frighten off the frat boys,
Use your baby talk.
Frighten off, frighten on

This fall the blues are brown.
So turn your horse around now.
The blues are brown.
Missing, mostly waving,
Thought as I was
Done, thought as I was
Young, thought as I was
