Gomez Album

I stopped tryin' to write the things I don't like
And I started goin' back to where I'd been before
She said "I don't blame you I'd do the same"
Opportunity knocks knocks knocks open the door
But I think she saw through it
I see through myself
Another chance gone, won't get many more

But I'm not the only guy I know that
I'm not the only guy I know that
You never notice
The only guy I know, well I'm not the only guy I know
That you never notice

I stopped tryin' to write the things I don't like
And I started goin' back to where I'd been before
She said "I don't blame you I'd do the same"
Opportunity knocks knocks knocks open the door
But I think she saw through it
I see through myself
Another chance gone, won't get many more

But that's not the only lie I told you
That's not the only lie I told you
You never notice
The only lie I told you, that's not the only lie I told you
You never notice
The only lie I told you, that's not the only lie I told you
You never notice

I can tell you're in denial, get over it
I can tell you're in denial, get over it
I can tell you're in denial, get over it
I can tell you're in denial

Day to day
Where do you want to be?
'Cos now you're trying to pick a fight
With everyone you need

You seem like a soldier
Who's lost his composure
You're wounded and playing a waiting game
In no-man's land no-one's to blame

See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been said and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that you earned

Empty handed, surrounded by a senseless scene
With nothing of significance
Besides a shadow of a dream
You sound like an old joke
You want out, a bit broke
An' askin me time and time again
And the answer's still the same

See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been said and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that you earned

You've got a chance to put things right
So how's it going to be?
Lay down your arms now
And put us beyond doubt
So reach out it's not too far away
Don't mess around now, don't delay

Calm down
And get straight
It's not our eyes (?)
It's how we operate

You're true
You are
I'd apologize but it won't go very far

Please come here
Come right on over
And when we collide we'll see what gets left over

A little joy
A little sorrow
And a little pride so we won't have to borrow
Wherever you lead, I'll follow

Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way

Please come here
Please come on over
There is no line that you can't step right over
Without you well I'm left hollow
So can we decide to try a little joy tomorrow
'Cos baby tonight I'll follow

Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way

The way that we've been speaking now
I swear that we'd be friends, I swear
'Cos all these little deals go down with
Little consequences, we share, we share

Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way

And I'm gonna love you anyway
Try to see things your way
Try to see things your way

Oh no, why can't you get along?
Ok I know it's not my place
I've got to say something
I've got to say something
I've got speak

She'll never leave
And you can never throw her out
Impossible to conceive
You'd rather be with than without

That's just the fear talking
That just the fear talking
That's just the fear

Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me, fear
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear

Remember the good old days
But love is like a dragonfly
So beautiful, it will die
And disappear before your eyes

I'm no philosopher
I am no poet
I'm just trying to help you out

Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me

And so you sit and wait
For another man to take your place
And when, when he comes
Would you welcome him with open arms?
You'll feel a hundred years younger
You'll feel a hundred years younger
You'll fee no fear

Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me, fear
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Don't kill you

She's a Wicked Girl
Worst in all the world
A mystery lies in her

She spends her days
in a violent rage
try as I might
I love her

Everytime the tears run dry
the story goes
what's left behind
shivers like a leaf
taciturn and gentle
it's not hard to believe

The Girlshapedlovedrug
messes with my mind
Don't ask me why,
the Girlshapedlovedrug
messes with your mind

She likes to fight
the whole world bang to rights
yours truly, I'd die for her

The growing pains
dissolve in lemonade
the sweetness flies to her

Every time her temper flares
a storm will blow
what's left's so rare

A fragment of the girl
soft and sentimental
the side she tries not to share

The Girlshapedlovedrug
messes with my head
Don't ask me why,
the Girlshapedlovedrug
messes with your mind
Don't ask me why,
the Girlshapedlovedrug
messes with my mind

When your song is sung
don't let me colour your opinion
that girl's my life, I tell ya

Every time my tears run dry
and the moment's flown
and re-designed

My feelings for the girl
how could I be with out her?
I would surely still find

The Girlshapedlovedrug
messes with my mind
Don't ask me why,
the Girlshapedlovedrug
messes with my mind
Don't ask me why,
the Girlshapedlovedrug
messes with your mind
Don't ask me why,
the Girlshapedlovedrug
messes with my mind

Well it's been more than a year
since i lived by the sea
and though we both have been moving
you came back to me
And I remember the old signs
we threw off the pier
they've been burning forgotten
they soon disappear.

Take one day of my lifestyle
passing ghosts in the street
I chase them away with alcohol
but they don't get drunk

The ghosts around your city
have all got no name
I wondered how they're flowing
I wondered why I'm glowing
I wondered how they're flowing
I wondered why I'm glowing

Take my time dear,
(it's all yours)
as the Earth goes round the Sun.
Life takes some fighting,
(and it leaves scars)
and it keeps us on the run.

This is a game I'm longing to play
but I stumble at the start
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
if this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
there's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
Now hold on tight

I'm not frightened,
and you keep me safe from harm
I'm not enlightened,
(Can't reach the stars)
but I'm closer in your arms

There is a flame that flickers and sways
but it knows why we're apart
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
if this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
there's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
no place, no time, (tear our love apart)
there's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
Now hold on tight

There's nothing to blame,
to get in our way
or tear our love apart
If we're in the same place,
it won't matter where we are
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
if this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
there's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If there's nothing

I spend a lifetime
trying to decipher
Charley Patton Songs.

I don't know why I bother,
even if I think it's right,
it always comes out wroung.

But I'm old enough,
old enough to know why
You're still young enough,
young enough to still try, still try.

I keep on pushing,
for some way through it,
til I'm knackered out

I know how you're feeling,
even though I've never been
that far south

But I'm old enough,
old enough to know why
You're still young enough,
young enough to still try, still try.

And I been lookin in New York,
I been lookin in Chicago,
I been lookin in New Orleans
I can't find you

I been lookin in Detroit,
I been lookin in Los Angeles,
I been lookin in Louisville
I cannot find you

Well I'm old enough,
old enough to know why
You're still young enough,
young enough to still try, you still try.

I been lookin in New York,
I been lookin in Chicago,
I been lookin in New Orleans
I can't find you

I been lookin in Detroit,
I been lookin in Los Angeles,
I been lookin in Louisville
I cannot find you

I been lookin in the Lonely States,
I been lookin in Philadelphia,
I been lookin in Memphis,
I cannot find you,
I cannot find you

From Step Inside
A temperamental ex stops and asks her why
But one cannot expect a true reply
Somehow love's picture hangs imperfect
And hand on heart we learn the score
The lovers and their wars
And wondering what's meant to be

For hope will spring eternal
When love's got you on your knees
Oh-oh shalalala woman
Shalalala man
(repeat)
Always and much more

Her body makes an "s", today they made a "c"
He sleepless needing her, he dogs her dreams
Then he wakes up on her doorstep
Then he wakes up on his floor
More drunker than before
She wouldn't open up to him

But hope will spring eternal
Through a multitude of sins
Oh-oh shalalala woman
Shalalala man
(repeat)
Always, always, always

But hope will spring eternal
When love's got you on your knees
Shalalala woman
Shalalala man
(repeat)

You can make up a list
Of the things you want
...Could be anything.
When you've crossed them all off,
And there's nothing left,
To start again.

The occasional milestone on your path,
Shows how far you've come.
But the record will show,
And it's all too much,
And not enough.

So step right up,
Everything's just fine.
I'm only here to do what's right.

If it cannot be slowed,
And it's too late to change,
Just cover up
Keep it spinning around out of control,
Til it's hard to stop
Like a moth to the flame, you can't resist
You have to get involved.
Why did you get involved?

So step right up,
Everything's just fine.
I'm only here to do what's right
Don't worry about it

Tell us what's your secret?
How come it works everytime?
You make it look so easy,
Like you don't even try.
Tell us what's your secret?
Have you got something to hide?
If giving up so easy,
Why do you even try?

And the record will show
You were falling fast,
It was all too much,
And you weren't fast enough

So step right up,
Everything's just fine.
I'm only here to do what's right
Don't worry about it

Tell us what's the secret?
How come it works everytime?
You make it look so easy,
Like you don't even try.
Tell us what's your secret?
Have you got something to hide?
If giving up so easy,
Why do you even try?

It's like you don't even try.
It's never all too much
Yeah, and not enough
It's like you don't even try.
It's never all too much
Yeah, and not enough.

I wish I could cry on demand,
Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo
Given all these troubles on my mind,
the tears won't come out.

I've been shaking, shaking in my boots
every time I hear my telephone ring
It can't possibly be you,
You never call,
not since my little accident.

I didn't mean to cause any trouble
I didn't know we were so serious
Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble
It can only float for so long

Now I realise, I realise they were wrong,
'cos what happens in Vegas,
don't take very long,
to travel accross continents,
and onwards overseas,
onto our little island,
to our city, our home,
but

I didn't mean to cause any trouble
I didn't know we were so serious
Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble
It could only float for so long

Sometimes I wish, I could cry on demand
Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo
Given all these troubles on my mind,
the tears won't come out.

I didn't mean to cause any trouble
I didn't know we were so serious
Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble
It could only float for so long

Sometimes I wish, I could cry on demand
Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo
Given all these troubles on my mind,
the tears won't come out.

I wish, I could cry on demand
Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo
Given all these troubles on my mind,
the tears won't come out,
the tears won't come out,
the tears won't come out

I epitomise restraint,
but time has tempered my discretion,
I'm bound to betray myself someday,
i'm hittin the road and sayin goodbye,
I'll never walk backwards,
let the sun get in my eyes.

Oh, don't make me laugh,
you're not fooled by the way i come over,
don't make me laugh,
and don't make me cry,
so long goodbye.

This parted history we share,
poorly wrapped and hardly mentioned,
I notice a little glint in your eye,
it's hard to know,
who's telling a lie.

You'd never say never,
wouldn't see your vanity deprived.

Oh, don't make me laugh,
you're not fooled by the way i come over,
don't make me laugh,
and don't make me cry,
so long goodbye.
Don't make me laugh,
there is no other way I could know her,
don't make me laugh,
and don't make me cry,
so long goodbye.


Don't make me laugh,
you're not fooled by the way i come over,
don't make me laugh,
and don't make me cry,
so long goodbye.
Don't make me laugh,
there is no other way I could know her,
don't make me laugh,
and don't make me cry,
so long,
so long,
so long,
goodbye
