no dancing
dancing leads to kissing
kissing leads to holding hands in the dark
holding hands leads to long talks at night
long talks at night lead to falling in love
and the taste is so sweet and the smell is so good
and the feeling that your lost in the woods
the flash and the touch and the kiss and the spark
and the feeling that you’re lost in the dark
no flirting
flirting leads to touching
touching leads to cuddling in bed
cuddling in bed leads to believing it’s real
believing it’s real leads to falling apart
and the taste is so sweet and the smell is so good
and the feeling that your lost in the woods
the flash and the touch and the kiss and the spark
and the feeling that you’re lost in the dark
the flash and the touch and the kiss and the spark...
no looking
looking leads to wishing
wishing leads to hoping you’ll meet
hoping you’ll meet leads to daydreams of love
daydreams of love lead to hearts broken like glass
and the taste is so sweet and the smell is so good
and the feeling that your lost in the woods
the flash and the touch and the kiss and the spark
and the feeling that you’re lost in the dark
the flash and the touch and the kiss and the spark...

Internet Girls

I have a crush on a girl I’ve never even met
it’s unlikely I ever will and yet, and yet, and yet
I’m smitten like there’s kittens in mittens in my heart
and they’re trying to claw their way out
and they’re clawing my insides apart
apart, apart, apart
they’re clawing my insides apart
She found me on Flickr, she liked some picture, I guess, some picture I took
So I added her to my myspace page, I stuck her right in my top 8
I fell in love with the comics she drew about her love, about her life
I fell in love with her lovelife, I guess, I fell in love with her love
In love, in love, in love
I fell in love with her love
Go out, go take a chance
Get the clap off some dancehall tart
I’m gonna stay safe at home
Internet girls don’t break your heart
They flirt and tease without deceiving
Go home to their men and it isn’t cheating
They tell you secrets and it isn’t wrong
because they own your heart but they’ll never belong
To you, to you, to you
They’ll never belong to you
to you, to you, to you
they’ll never belong to you
I know if she lived in this town, of this I have no doubt
She would do nothing for me, I would just weird her out
And can you crush on somebody when you’ve plumbed
the depths of their soul
When you know the secrets they keep beneath their pillows at night
Like dirty little lumps of coal
They flirt and tease without deceiving
Go home to their men and it isn’t cheating
They tell you secrets and it isn’t wrong
Because they own your heart but they’ll never belong
To you, to you, to you
They’ll never belong to you
To you, to you, to you
They’ll never belong to you

Crushed Grapes

I got a wound that needs stitchin’
before this night procedes
everytime I start itchin’
I scratch it till it bleeds
I wanna see you tonight — I like that crooked smile
I wanna woo you right — but it’s been a while, it’s been a while
I got a heart that needs mendin’
it’s missing buttons and beads
like a garden that needs tendin’
my soul is full of weeds
I wanna take you out — you make me laugh
if it puts you at ease — you can pay for half
it’s not a date if you pay for half
I just got straightened out, I just got straightened out
I just got straightened out, I just got straightened out
I need to find the tap in my chest
to drain this vinegar
my heart’s been eating itself out
over memories of her
I wanna see you soon — you can call my bluff
tomorrow afternoon — isn’t soon enough, isn’t soon enough
I just got straightened out,
my hearts been crushed
I just got straightened out,
like a boxer’s nose
I just got straightened out,
crushed like grapes
I just got straightened out,
between a vinter’s toes

I couldn’t remember the rhyme
beer before or beer after wine
now I’m really not looking so good
and I’m really not feeling so fine
just to be on the safe side
crack me open another beer
just let me finish this glass of sherry
and I figure I’ll be in the clear
don’t hold it against me
cockeyed and half-mumbling
I love you I love you always I’ve loved you
we just met but always I’ve loved you
you were a duchess, I was a pirate
I kidnapped you in 1487
we lived on a tropical island
we made love in a little grass hut
I think I’m gonna be sick now
someone unroll the window
I can’t seem to make my fingers work
my fingers are ten little jerks
but in another life they held you tight
on a battlement on a stormy night
the wind blew my hair with a rakish flair
with a rakish flair
it’s so nice of you
to help me into bed
why don’t you stay? I’ll make you breakfast
if I don’t wake up undead
I’ve taken so much from so many
I want someone to whom I can give
and in this light as you gaze at me sadly
you look like juliet if she had lived
juliet if she had lived
juliet if she had lived
I love you I love you always I’ve loved you
we just met but always I’ve loved you
I love you I love you always I’ve loved you
we just met but always I’ve loved you

Crush On You

oooh-oooh I got a crush on you
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold you hips
I wanna pull you closer
I wanna kiss your lips
if you wanna know what I plan to do
about this crush I got, this crush I got on you
if you wanna know what I plan to do
about this crush I got, this crush I got on you
oooh-oooh I got a crush on you
I wanna brush your hair
I wanna chew your gum
I wanna hold your books
I wanna suck your thumb
I gotta figure out if it's really true
this crush I got, this crush I got on you
I gotta figure out if it's really true
this crush I got, this crush I got on you
oooh-oooh I got a crush on you
I’m on the rebound and what’s that sound
the revenge train is pulling into town
she’s on the rebound, she’s getting around
the revenge train is pulling into town
oooh-oooh I got a crush on you
can’t you tell me if it's really true
this crush I got, this crush I got on you
can’t you tell me if it's really true
this crush I got, this crush I got on you

Boy: you called and I came
knowing I shouldn’t be here again
Girl: in the middle of the night
Boy: it ain’t right
Girl: between scrabble
Boy: and green tea
Girl: a tentative touching of knees
Boy: sitting thigh to thigh
Girl: I’ve only got a ‘U’ and an ‘I’
Boy: silent fingers hesitantly entwine
unsure of what is meant
Girl: relax, what could be the harm in holding hands?
Boy: it’s sweet and innocent
Girl: we won’t break hearts
Boy: they’ll just get bent
Boy: I think she heard a ‘rumour’
Girl: eight points
Boy: no, it’s a double letter score
Girl: then I guess it’s nine
Boy: M-I yours?
Girl: R-U mine?
Girl: why did you put down ‘qualms’?
Boy: ‘q’ on a triple word score
Girl: why don’t you spell it out?
Boy: I have my ‘doubts’
Girl: do you want more?
Boy: silent bodies hesitantly entwine
Girl: this was never my intent
Boy: relax, it’s okay for friends to cuddle
Girl: this will end in discontent
Boy: we won’t break hearts
Girl: they’ll just get bent
Girl: i called
Boy: and I came
Girl: knowing you shouldn’t be here again
Boy: in the middle of the night
Girl: it ain’t right
Girl: I get six points for ‘try’
Boy: you’d get more for ‘goodbye’
Girl: I just don’t have the tiles
Boy: you’ve been hoarding them for a while
Girl: silent fingers hesitantly let go
Boy: without words or argument
relax, no fault no fowl and no harm
Girl: it wasn’t without incident
Both: broken hearts
start out bent
