Shoestring 03:39
Shoestring {V1} Don't make me try to All that I know I've given it I've given it Went for a breather Made me a teaser But came with a ticket yeah {Chorus} Held me up to push me down The animals have got me now And put me in a league of my own Head to toe I'm feeling cold Some are nurtured to be sold So put me in a cell on my own Give me another reason To get going {V2} Took the remainder Hung from my shoulder My hand was very small in yours You were the major Cut with a razor Left with a shoestring on
2.
Place Too Low {V1} Tried to keep my thinking down Took some time to work it out Never in a place too low In a house up on a hill Called out to me that I should know With a whisper and a rope Being sold {Chorus} Oh When you go Give it to me In words I know Don't make it your own {V2} Struggle being driven out Of a crowded humming house Took my arms and legs in theirs Stolen with a breathe of air Called out to me that I would fall Left my face pressed on a wall Bring sold
3.
Left To Wonder {V1} Your silhouette is strong in the dark but soft in my hands Look like a picture only to make me mad Somewhere the green eye called us to step inside Made me remember all of our sleepless nights {Chorus} Don't go back til you're ready to To remember There's a crack and you're leaving me Left to wonder {V2} Land with your footprints down on the sandy ground Ran through he trees with bats and the leaves and sounds Down on a flat cold face only then it stung Made me remember how i would wear the song

Valentine 03:10
Valentine {V1} He could be the leader of my army Leaving hell behind me Stepped out from the road that ended Drew out another ending made It's a big deal it's important to me Showed up to be - to be over again {Chorus} I have tried a long time to meet you He don't think I'd give much to see you Written off the day to be with you Valentine it might be I have tried a long time to see you {V2} Went to see a movie with a stranger All eyes behind me Here's one to be home Flashed out before we knew the end didn't come It's a tight fit, it's a wonderful thing Dragged round just for - for the sake of it
5.
All Alone 04:43
All Alone {V1} Both my legs round your neck Stayed there into the night No one said it was late It was a long way back to the train I didn't know that he had read There was a quiet into which He road a bike and I would wave No interruption to get in the way {Chorus} I was all alone All alone " " " " " {V2} It's an unstable day The ground that you took away We hunted around for some lights And kept a look out for unlikely types I didn't catch that we had tripped Into a dim lit candle crib Hollowed my head 'til it felt tight Lay Lady Lay playing out through the night
