Twelve Stops & Home lyrics

She gave her heart for a healthy man
A healthy child and a healthy tan
He gave it all
For a pretty face
A sweet smile
But a bitter taste

They gave it all
Yes they gave it all
Her thoughts were big but their feelings small

I put the dog out for you
Travelled beneath wards for you
Down where it’s rumbling
Suburbs left crumbling
Here’s where the fun begins
It’s true

My pianos out of tune
I wish it wasn’t
I wish that you were mine
I wish that my heart was stronger

My pianos out of tune
I wish it wasn’t
I wish we had more time
I wish that my world was softer
And I’m on a helicopter

I’ve had this feeling before
My heart is crawling in the mud, mud, mud
Id feel much better I’m sure if I had a helicopter

This telephone’s out of use

My love look me in the eye don’t lie
Whats eating you inside
I know someone said I aint your kind
Who knows that maybe their right

Do you feel it in your bones
And bones beneath your skin
And the blood that flows within
I thought it was obvious

My love we’re made of the same old stuff
Same old stuff
It’s not hard
Just look at how close we are
Instead of how far

Don’t you dig this life
They call the meek
You whose feet are on the ground
And if you get too high
What goes around comes around
And brings you down
‘Cause people gonna see you
How they wanna see you
People gonna rate you
People gonna hate you
People gonna shove you
People gonna love you
People gonna do whatever
Makes them feel they own you better

I found a switch
Turned it on
Hit the ditch
And carried on
I was so near
Now you’re so far
Are you quite sure
Just who you are

O IIIII
O you could chose a friend but you don’t seem to have the time
O IIIII
I wonder if you ever get to say what’s on your mind
O take a little time, take a little time

I love it when you call
I love it when you call
I love it when you call

Where the hell did you get that smile
I haven’t seen one of them in a while
Cos these days, I’m such a boy,
I mope around
Like I seen it all before, but something has changed, I used to be an open heart
What have you done to me

It could have been anyone, it could have been anyone
It could have been anyone, it could have been anyone

I turn on the tap and run some water
Flick a little switch on the wall
Im hoping you remember what I tought ya
hoping you remember me at all

I'm strong, but I feel like a mouse when your gone
yes and i'm weak, but ill take on the world when your here
with me,
with me...
Can't you see your in the wrong place
won't you please face it and come home
when I think about your sweet face

It’s never gonna work, I don’t know what I’m doing in here
My evenings go beserk every time your voice gets near
But when I get under control, I see you ache for it and all
I’ve got some sugar for your bowl
I’ve got some loving for your soul
Some twinkle for your eyes, I
Getting sick of being just alone

They think it’s not right, fine
Each to their very little own

Everyone knows it
Can you deny it
I was the only one for you
Everyone knows it
Cos we couldn’t hide it
Nobody else got close its true

My love was stronger then you think
Much stronger now I’ve had a dream

Well, I hope you know that I miss you
And I wonder where you’ve been
And I wonder who you’ve seen
And I hope that he’s a friend

Do I miss you? (yeah)
