Idea Track
Dear Hugh Miller
Ive thought it through for a while but it doesnt get any easier
And three months on in this bad design wont make it feel any easier
Your grave, its your grave
Dear Hugh Miller
Its four months now from when we started and nothing feels much easier.
I sit and stare in a cork tiled room and it doesnt get much easier.
Your grave, its your grave
Pretend it works a while, its transmitted live
Pretend it works a while (you dont try)
Pretend it works a while, its transmitted live
Pretend it works a while (dont try)
Dear Hugh Miller,

Pretend it works a while, its transmitted live

I dont care if I dont have an idea track, its an idea track, its an idea
I dont care if I dont have an idea track, its an idea track, its an idea
Your grave, its your grave.

Too Precious!
the only thing
i dont know how to do...
is to pretend it doesnt matter!
to pretend that i dont care!
life is too precious to pretend,
too valuable to waste...
every moment is a gift,
every second eternal!
live! be drunk with living!

Buss Stop
Theres a cry that is heard in the city
From vivian at pentecost lane
A shriekin and dancing till 4 a.m.
Another night of muscles and pain
I love you despite your convictions
That God never laughs at my jokes
Im a young man at odds with the bible
But I dont pretend faith never works
When were down on our knees
Prayin at the bus stop
Now jesus he came in a vision
And offered you redemption from sin
Im not sayin that I dont believe you
But are you sure that it really was him
Ive been told that it couldnve been blue cheese
Or the meal that we ate down the road
Im a young man at odds with the bible
But I dont pretend faith never works
When were down on our knees
Prayin at the bus stop
How yeah

Her
Baby, Ive been watching from a distance
And everything it rings familiarly, mmmm
But I cant imagine what you must be thinkin
Cuz she could never be what I can be
Oh, loneliness has really got you twisted
And theres so much your eyes dont even see, yeah
And then I laid my eyes upon your woman
And to my surprise I saw me lookin at me
But how could you be with her?
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I wont stand by and watch you pretend
So baby how could you?
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
We parted so that we could make it better
Cuz boy, you said we needed time and space, mmm
We vowed that it was only temporary
But I never thought that I would be replaced
Now youre living all our dreams with another
And youre giving everything you promised me
Youre pretending were together when were nothing
But shes not me, she cant be, no
How could you be with her, oh baby
Her
You dont really love her, no, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
So how could you play me?
Her
Cuz dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
I never thought that you would be hurting this way
And I never thought Id be without you, without you
You didnt have to run away to find me again
Cuz Ive always been here I am the real thing
So dont you pretend, oh
Her
You dont really love her
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
Oh
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz you really love and and i
I
I cant stand by and let you pretend
We could start again
Her
Ya gotta let her go baby
She
And bring your love to me
I
I want your love, I need your love

I Cant Pretend
Charles tobias / paul rusincky (w. edward breuder? )
I cant pretend
Im sorry were apart
I cant pretend
I just cant fool my heart
Though I make mine
My friends all seem to realize
Their smiles, that look in my eye
I cant pretend
I simply cant be gayer
For in the end
My tears give me away
Without you dear
I live a lie
I cant defend
I love you
And I cant pretend

Hollywood Ending
Did you want it this way
Breaking us down a little at a time
Is it easier now that Im not around
Is it time to draw the line
Well, we dont have to pretend
That its a hollywood ending
Leave it to me
To act like a fool begging you to come back
When I had you I had everything
And now all I have is this photograph
Theres nothing here to defend
Its not a hollywood ending
You dont have to go
No, you dont have to go
You couldve been the star of
My show anytime
No, you dont have to go the trouble with you
The trouble with me
We aint meant to be
Well, we dont have to pretend
That its a hollywood ending
Another hollywood ending
Its not as bad as it seems
A hollywood ending
Its hard to give up your dreams
Another hollywood ending
All that glitters will fade
A hollywood ending
Just like the promise you made
Another hollywood ending
Did you want it this way

Woman Without Pride
Ill try to be nice
Be nice if I can
I will try to be nice
And please my man
Ill try to let on
That its a perfect day
And Ill try to pretend
Shes going away
Ill try to let on
She never persisted
Ill try to let on
She never was twisted
Ill try to pretend
She doesnt exist
And Ill try to let on
That you never kissed her
Kissed her x 7
You dont see things like I do x 2
Ya-a ya-a
I dont believe
That she has the audacity
I dont believe the
Woman without pride x 5
You dont see things like I do
You dont see things
Like I do

A Heartache In The Works
(chet biggers/melba montgomery)
This ole heart of mine
Is now showing signs
From the wear and tear of times
You have taken it and crushed it
Then came close to throwing it away
Holding on to someone who dont love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
Its a heartache in the works
Looking through my tears
Its hard to see you care
When I know that you dont hear
When I lie away beside you
And cry til I see the light of day
Holding on to someone who dont love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
Its a heartache in the works
Its hard to keep surviving
When love is slowly dying
And all the pain without keeps building up
Holding on to someone who dont love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
Its a heartache in the works
Holding on to someone who dont love the same way that you do
Always hits right where it hurts
Its a heartache in the works
Its a heartache in the works

Walk Away
Dont say I love you, I wont say that I care
Ill pretend I never kissed you, or held you, or worshipped you
I swear
Ill live in denial for as long as I live
Cuz *what I need baby, this love just cant give
We have to walk away
We have to walk away
Ill try not to sing, youll try not to talk with those lips
Well forget all the sweet memories, and now well just go with what
Is
Cuz this love aint loving, and I dont know why
But anything that stands so still cant be alive
We have to walk away
We have to walk away
[refrain]
But there were times our love was, so sweet
And its *memory that makes me want to make it last
But you cant make love work, anymore than you can make it leave
And its then you gotta leave it yourself
[refrain2]
Cuz when love aint loving but still aint leaving
Its then you gotta leave it yourself
Now jealousy can ride your heart like a sick kind of pony
And envys just the same
And your loneliness can consume you no matter how much love you had
And when it all boils down, baby, theres no other way
And I *care much more than to make you stay
We have to walk away
We have to walk away
So at night, when darkness fills me,
Ill pretend you never spoke my name
When Im sitting home that lonely,
Ill pretend youre home and lonely, oh just the same
And Ill pretend this sorrow, this sorrow will pass
And Ill try to pretend that this loneliness wont last
And that Ill walk away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Refrain
Repeat
Refrain2
Repeat
So dont say
So dont say I love you
I wont say that I care

Going Nowhere Somehow
Take a look at where youre going
Do you know where you come from?
Seems like youve spent your life just
Searching, in the length of just one song
But you know youre going nowhere
Like so many of your age
This has gone on far too long now
To be dismissed as another phase
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that youre still young and
Unaware. but everyone that you lack
Weighs upon your mind, when shes not there
I dont want to break your heart,
I dont want to let you down
Its just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow.
Now your friends are disappearing
Theyre getting scarcer day by day
Youve only got yourself to blame for
That, you always wanted things that way
Cos its easier being lonely
Than being let down again and again
When youre standing on edge of
Things, it means you never have to pretend.
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that youre still young and
Unaware. but everyone that you lack
Weighs upon your mind,
When shes not there
I dont want to break your heart
I dont want to let you down
Its just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow.

Anything For You
(l. dermer/j. galdo)
Anything for you
Though youre not here
Since you said were through
It seems like years
Time keeps draggin on and on
And forevers been and gone
Still I cant figure what went wrong
Id still do anything for you
Ill play your game
You hurt me through and through
But you can have your way
I cant pretend each time I see you
That I dont care and I dont need you
And though youll never see me cryin
You know inside I feel like dyin
And Id do anything for you
In spite of it all
Ive learned so much from you
You made me strong
Dont you ever think I dont love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things dont work out right
And you just have to say goodbye
I hope you find someone to please you
Someone wholl care and never leave you
But if that someone ever hurts you
You just might need a friend to turn to
And Id do anything for you
Ill give you up
Thats what I should do
To make you happy
I cant pretend each time I see you
That I dont care and I dont need you
And though inside I feel like dyin
You know youll never see me cryin
Dont you ever think that I dont love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things dont work out right
And you just have to say goodbye.
Dont want to say goodbye

Beyond You
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
If you were a baby I would take you and run
I could hide you in the folds of my heart
Theres a truth in the madness that I cant get beyond
And a fever that wont leave me alone
I dont want my heart
Dont want my head
Dont want my friends
Dont want my bed
I cant live with myself
I cant live with myself
Cant take no help
I try to want you
But I cant get beyond you
I will stare from the window
At the shapes in the rain
As the space between us drives me insane
I cant live with myself
I cant live with myself
Cant take no help
I want no one else
If I was a child
I would reuse to leave
I would sit down on the street
Kick my legs and scream
Im not much of a man but I know how I am
I know this wont fade away
I will pretend and be strong
But I wonder where I belong
And the feeling comes in waves
A hole in my body.. aching
Like a heart dying
A soul crying
Exhausted and insecure
Took all you have and I still want more
And I reach out to hold you,
But all I do is hurt you,
Hurt you
I cant live with myself
I cant live with myself
Cant take no help
I try to want to
But I cant get beyond you
If I was a child
I would take you and run
And I say I dont know...
But I know
And I say Ill go, but I dont let go
You just spent the whole day
Driving away

Not Conscious Of Its Acceptance
I have an idea!
Let's all pretend,
What is happening,
Isn't.
'Is that the best you can do?
We've been doing that for years.
That's how we got into this mess.'
Well...
Let's all pretend,
To be disconnected from it.
The mess.
'There is just one problem.'
What is it?
'How can we excuse our involvement,
Without acknowledging...
We were not conscious of its acceptance? '
I have another idea.
'What is it? '
We can always say,
We didn't exist when the 'mess' was implemented.
'I have an idea.'
Good!
Let's hear it.
'Why don't you keep your ideas to yourself.
And implement a nonthinking process.
I'm willing to bet,
'That' will be accepted.'

Love & Me Make Three
Where were you
When judas needed a band
Sitting in the backseat
With another woman in your hand
Dont look this way
With your changing point of view
Just sit on a fence
And pretend to be you
Christ is crying
Outside your church door
Dont let him in
Hell get mud on your floor
Just put on your apron
And count up all the money
Dont you smell the burning
And you just think its funny
You love yourself
You love yourself
Have we become what we wanted?
You go ahead, Ill love myself more
Youre a man
Who works for the lord
Polishing the statues
When their faces look worn
The best of times
And the worst of men
Dont seem to affect you
Youre asleep again
You love yourself
You love yourself
Have we become what we wanted?
You go ahead, Ill love myself more

She Works Hard For The Money
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
Onetta there in the corner stand
and wonders where she is and
it's strange to her
some people seem to have everything
Nine a.m. on the hour hand
and she's waiting for the bell
and she's looking real pretty
just wait for her clientele
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
Twenty five years have
come and gone
and she' seen a lot of tears
of the ones who come in
they really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
for little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She already knows
she's seen her bad times
she already knows
these are the good times
She'll never sell out
she never will
not for a dollar bill
she works hard
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

Lets Pretend
(eric carmen)
I cant sleep nights
Wishing you were here beside me
Cant help feeling
Thats way it ought to be
You know we could run (run, run) away
And I couldnt bear to hear
The things theyd say
Oh no
Baby lets pretend
That tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes
And believe it might come true
Baby lets pretend
We could always be together
But for now just let me
Spend the night with you
Somehow, someday
Things are gonna be so different
Dont cry
Some way
I promise it will be all right
So now that were all alone
I couldnt bear
To ever take you home
Oh no
Baby lets pretend
That tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes
And believe it might come true
Baby lets pretend
We could always live together
But for now just let me
Spend the night with you
So take me now
My love cant wait
Were almost there now darlin
Darlin hold me, hold me
Hold me
Baby lets pretend
That tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes
And believe it might come true
Baby lets pretend
We could always live together
But for now just let me
Spend the night with you

Just Missed The Train
Roll over baby
The time has come
To make a little bit more room
Ive hung around you
Its getting tough
I think Im gonna break down soon
Do you remember
Wasting all the time
We were feeling fine
Though we couldnt walk a line
We were alright
So go on
And sleep darlin
Why dont you pretend we were just a dream?
Its cool baby
It doesnt matter anyway
Well, Im so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
So, sleep darlin
Why dont you pretend we were just a dream?
Well, Im so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
Such a shame
Just missed the train.

I Dont Believe In Love
I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye
Searching high and low
The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
Handcuffed and blind, I didnt do it
She said she loved me
I guess I never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said shed meet me on the other side
But I knew right then, Id never find her
I dont believe in love
I never have, I never will
I dont believe in love
Its never worth the pain that you feel
No more nightmares, Ive seen them all
From the day I was born, theyve haunted my every move
Every open hands there to push and shove
No time for love it doesnt matter
She made a difference
I guess she had a way
Of making every night seem bright as day
Now I walk in shadows, never see the light
She must have lied cause she never said goodbye
I dont believe in love
I never have, I never will
I dont believe in love
Ill just pretend she never was real
I dont believe in lovev I need to forget her face, I see it still
I dont believe in love
Its never worth the pain that you feel
No chance for contact
Theres no raison detre
My only hope is one day Ill forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love its all the same to me
I dont believe in love
I never have, I never will
I dont believe in love
Ill just pretend she never was real
I dont believe in love
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I dont believe in love
Its never worth the pain that you feel
