I Love You Like A Madman
The Wave Pictures
If I made it through Christmas without smoking
'Til your parents went to bed
If you made it trhough too
Without sticking your nail scissors in my neck
I'll buy you bras instead of pickled eggs
Chocolate instead of chutney
Good red wine instead of bad red wine
Next time I remember your birthday

I ate peaches straight from the can
The juice ran down my tongue
Over my lip
Slipped down my chin
Dripped onto your parents' carpet

The air in here is dead
But we're not finished yet
Throw the back door open
Let me see your breath

I love you like a madman
I miss you all the time
I wait for the morning
I will wait all night

I mixed rum and coke and lemonade
Asked for my presents in the kitchen
Alone again at 3am
I listened to them
With sugar round the rim and ash around the edges
Of the tiles and the tables
You didn't sit up waiting
But somehow slept sober


How great is this part :

I ate peaches straight from the can
The juice ran down my tongue
Over my lip
Slipped down my chin
Dripped onto your parents' carpet

We Come Alive
The Wave Pictures
There were roman candles and Catherine wheels outside
Inside, all was deadly quiet
Corner cut, medium weight and I arrive late
I caught you spelling baby names with sparklers on your patio
And you didn’t know, that I’d been writing letters to other girls
In shaky, shaky handwriting

We swooned like 50’s housewives
Buzzing like a hive
The room is spinning faster than a 45

And we come alive
We come alive
We come alive

Well you were an octopus and I was an orang-utan
And everybody in there saw the way that we carried on
But everyone who knows me, knows I make up all these stories

We swooned like 50’s housewives
Buzzing like a hive
The room is spinning faster than a 45

And we come alive
We come alive
We come alive
We come alive
We come alive
We come alive

Kiss Me
The Wave Pictures
I read your letter, I read your letter
It said, I love John Lennon forever
And I know you think I’m nuts (think I’m nuts)
But I really hate his guts (hate his guts)
And now you’ve half inched my copy of pet sounds
I think you’ve taken everything from me I’ve had to give

I die for beauty, I die for beauty
Adjusted in the tomb
Until the moss reached our lips,
And covered up our names
Sweet is the swamp with its secrets

So kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Don’t kiss me, kiss me, kiss me,
Don’t kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Tonight

Because I’ve never really missed someone (missed someone)
I never really missed someone (missed someone)
I never really missed someone before

And now I’m going to the country, to paint my mail box blue
I’m not going to paint myself on you
I’m going to the city, to dine more
You can make me a palette on your floor
But I won’t stay the night
Cos I, read your letter
About how you love Sergeant Pepper
But I know that someday I’ll do better


So don’t; kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Don’t kiss me, kiss me, kiss me,
Don’t kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Tonight

Strange Fruit For David
The Wave Pictures
I was a young man, starving and drinking
And trying, to become a writer
And I remember that apartment
The smell of mice and dust
And the old woman with the pretty legs
All the kisses that I lost to your neck,
I am a tennis player, playing on both sides of the net
And I, will get you yet,
And I will turn you, I will turn you
Like a tattooed pigskin
And this time you won’t forget my face
Read my lips

A sculpture is a sculpture
Marmalade is marmalade
And a sculpture of marmalade is a sculpture
But it isn’t marmalade
She said with you inside me,
Comes the knowledge of my death
But I still had some oranges left
Underneath the bed

I came to you, I came to depend on you
I came upon you, I came upon your floor
But the god should be left alone
One mustn’t bang upon the door
She said for everything that is visible
There is a copy that is hidden
She said, nothing takes on life
Until it has been eaten
I was working the hole with the sailor
And you wonder you don’t get invited to more parties
Read my lips

A sculpture is a sculpture
Marmalade is marmalade
And a sculpture of marmalade is a sculpture
But it isn’t marmalade
She said with you inside me,
Comes the knowledge of my death
But I still had some oranges left
Underneath the bed

January And December
The Wave Pictures
The years answers melts, in a wet, winter kiss
january and december, you and me forever
my horse is as tall as a wall fully recovered from the fall
hit record and watch him crawl, into your pocket

If you hold me like you planned too, never let me go
what i want to know is when this pub closes

My horse is as high as a house, with the furniture burning and the windows smashed out
hit pause and walk him out, out of your pocket

If you hold me like you planned too, never let me go
what i want to know, is when this pub closes
if you hold me like you planned too, never let me go
what i want to know is when this pub closes
when this pub closes

If You Leave It Alone
The Wave Pictures
If I was the kind who was inclined to cry
I'd cry for the strings I cut loose
& I'd cry for the bridges I burned
Just to make myself a little room to move

Now I'm full up with lessons learned
& the days that are made just to throw them away
Now I'm closing all the curtains
I'm switching off the phone
Now I took down all your cameras
& I open the fridge

& hung from the hinges with the eggs & garlic
The cheese & tomatoes
The milk & the beer
The strings & the bridges of a brand new year
The first tear was a note
& the note made a song

& I hung the song from the hinges of the door
Then I carried on just the same as before
& nothing got different
& nothing got changed
But a new tune gets sweeter & simpler with age

If you leave it alone
If you leave it alone
If you leave it alone

It gets sweeter & simpler & softer & slower
& younger the longer you leave it alone

So I wrote you a note & the note read:
"There's so much good silence in the emptiest heads
I tipped my mouth towards pillowless beds
& poured out my brains & my guts into ears

& for each dear black sentence a sheer lack of tears
No I don't want those words back, I don't miss those years
But if I could hold your knees again under my chin again
If I could kiss your nose us both brittle & thin again

Maybe then baby then I could get light again
Maybe then baby then I could get light again
If I could kiss your toes, kiss your ribs, kiss your fingers,
Well, maybe then baby then I could get light

& then I would be light
I would be liked
I would be liked"

Ah, but if you leave it alone
If you leave it alone
If you leave it alone

It gets sweeter & simpler & softer & slower
& younger the longer you leave it alone

Leave it alone
Leave it alone
Leave it alone
Leave it alone

I Thought Of You Again
The Wave Pictures
I wrote a thousand verses,
Each one about doctors and nurses.
On paper napkins in diners
and wrote the titles on matchsticks.

Tucked them in the left breast pocket
of a tattered silk check shirt
And threw the shirt away
into the shadow of a corner
of a northern Spanish bar
without brass in the backline
but shutters on the doors
and twenty, thirty people
in clusters on the floor,
looking anywhere but at each other.

Between the runners of a busted wooden pier
before the beers with Tracy on the bottle.

And I thought of you at the airport
and I was still thinking of you on the plane.
And when the police took my passport
and wrote down my name -
I thought of you again.

I was doing press-ups in the hotel lobby;
The lobby with me was unimpressed.
I managed five, but I was barely alive,
when I rolled over to rest.

And I thought of all your illnesses
and your incredible strength
And I guess that it meant that I missed you.

And I though of all the little things that always made you tense
and I wished I was able to tell you that
I'd have learnt a thousand tricks to make them disappear
With whispers in the ear
and kisses.

And I though about your lips, your mouth, your smile, your laugh, your lips
your lips, your mouth, your smile, your laugh, your lips.

And I though of you in Sweden
Like I'd been thinking of you all over Spain.

And when the pissed up student girls teased me
with the sound of my own name -
I thought of you again.

Kiss my drummer

Do you remember my hand in your hair when you wrapped your head in the hood of my mother's sweater?
Do you think of me when you listen to the Grateful Dead? Do you recall how much I hate them?
Does your heart stop beating and your skin turn white when you hear a girl with a French accent?
Cos I can't hear no Southern California slang or eat mango with cashew butter
Cos I can't wear that dress that shines so much I come from Sweden
Without breaking down in cries
Without breaking down in cries
Without breaking down in cries

Well you tell me you could go with someone else
Rest your bones on a Spanish island
Did you already find yourself another girl who worships the Chili Peppers?
Are you really annoyed about giving me the dress that you made for me with your dad's shirt?
Cos I can't accept or forget you never kissed me like a stranger
Cos I don't want to know I won't get to kiss my drummer after the session
Without breaking down in cries
Without breaking down in cries
Without breaking down in cries
Without breaking down in cries
Without breaking down in cries
Without breaking down in cries

When you were satisfying your thirst for success
And you looked older than I did,
I didn't think that that was you at your best.
We were only lonely little kids
Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes,
We were little kids.
And you could say sorry ten billion times,
But sorry didn't do what you did.
I threw myself at you and I threw myself away
Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes.

Johnny Cash died today and you say, you say things,
Lovely things, to lovely other people,
And I'm not invited.

But I love the back garden at my parents' place,
And I love the view out of my Glasgow window,
And I love waking up on the floor of a flat in New York,
And you don't know any of these things.

And I've seen you selling shoes but you've never heard me sing,
And I used to hate your boyfriend and the things you did.
Somehow I found out and I was disappointed,
But I don't need therapy because I have cigarettes,
And I don't have any bad memories only bitter regrets.

Johnny Cash died today and I could take a train
And take an hour to think on the way of what I would say when I saw you.
And I could walk into the shop and buy myself some black platform shoes;
Talk to all the other girls and just ignore you.
Or I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you,
Because I adore you.

Johnny Cash died today and you'd say, you'd say
"It's not like Elvis though is it?"
And you would be right

Consult your mouth, flapping wings beneath the bed
You lay down your innocence, though it is just half dead
It has crawled here to rest... and slowly it will die
So run your fingers through my skin
And I shall be made your music
We must ride the rougher paths to bliss
I can do it with a kiss

You were sitting on my Xmas tree
And you were looking down at me

Well, I went to the movies for three years
And I heard that you were busy going in and out of therapy
So you lost all my money and I cost you all your friends
They do not want to talk to you, but I do, I do, I do!

So we dress up like snowmen and run around your garden
Chanting "DAVID IS THE MONSTER!"

I'll come running back to you.
Sam Cook's lyrics.

Folks said that you found someone new
To do the thing I used to do for you
Just call my name, I'm not ashamed
I'll come running back to you

Can't sleep goodnight, I can't eat a bite
When youwere mine I didn't sweet your right
Just call my name, I know, I know I'm not ashamed
I'll come running back to you

Just like a king, I've lost everything
I sit all alone on my throne
I've got my pride deep down insdie
I'm yours, I'm yours alone

I try to forget, had no regrets
This love about could always start anew
Just call my name, wooh, I know I'm not asamed
I'll come running back to you
