tindersticks - a marriage made in heaven
She fell in love with my singing
She knew the bells started ringing
She thought there was only her there
But, me, I just live for the clapping
A hand delivery of an invite to my premiere
When he fell in love, I was acting
I sent her flowers, asked her to marry me
But all I heard was their clapping
Now she cries with a cigarrette at the window
He croons and moans like he's hurting
She cries so well
He croons and moans, just croons and moans
Now, I never thought [I had no idea] she needed direction
And he was at the mercy of his writers
For the songs I needed [for me] to touch her
Those sad, sad songs to make me happy
Now she cries with a cigarrette at the window
He croons and moans like he's hurting
She cries so well
He croons and moans, just croons and moans
We re-enact the love scenes from her/my movies
But I never thought, but she uses a stand-in
His voice is croakier every day now
And she cries so well
tindersticks - a night in
had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
The path that you led
Wasn't straight to your bed
There's no cots to sleep in
And you showed me
Who I was running from
As if I had not known all along
Oh my old feet
They know this hard street
Stay like old friends
You're flat on the ground
There's no further down
There's no cots to sleep in
So come in
Leave them outside the door
Tear off the paper
Tear off the carpet
Off the floor
Chorus:
And I know you're hurting
And I can't be there for you
And I know you're hurting
And I can't be there no more
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had calluses, not sores
And I'd like to keep them
So go turn those sheets
Get back on the street
There's nothing more I can bring to you
See I'm scared of the door
Afraid of the floor
Well, I'll go and walk right through
And I'll show you
Who I've been running from
It's the feeling of waking
And it's gone
Chorus
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had calluses, not sores
And I'd like to keep them
Oh now your feet
They know this hard street
They're like old friends
You're flat on the ground
There's no further down
There's no cots to sleep in
So come in
Leave them outside the door
Tear off the paper
Tear off the carpet
Off the floor
Chorus
I had shoes full of holes
When you first took me in
I had calluses, not sores
And I'd like to keep them
So go turn those sheets
Get back on the street
There's nothing more I can bring to you
See I'm scared of the door
Afraid of the floor
Well, I'll go and walk right through
And I'll show you
Who I've been running from
It's the feeling of waking
And it's gone
tindersticks - a sweet sweet man
Sweet Sweet Man Pt. 1
--------------------------------------------
She sang for me, her heart on her tongue
She sang so pretty
She danced for me, her heart on her hips
She danced so fine
She said ";Oh, a sweet sweet man like you,
What can I do for you?";
I said ";A sweet sweet man like me
I can only bring you misery";
I lay awake that night, listening to her breathing
Thinking how strange it would be
If I awoke and she wasn't there
I could feel myself, feel myself changing
No longer me, I was only a part of her
I said ";A sweet sweet man like me
I can only bring you misery";
So they put me down, back where I started from
But where I started seems so high
I start to climb
Sweet Sweet Man Pt. 2
---------------------------------------------------
I lay awake that night, listening to her breathing
Thinking how strange it would be
If I awoke and she wasn't there
I could feel myself, feel myself changing
No longer me, I was only a part of her
She said ";Oh a sweet-sweet man like you
what can I do for you?";
I said ";A sweet sweet man like me
I can only bring you misery";
tindersticks - another night in
Greed's all gone now, there's no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ear
Regain your balance
Doesn't matter where she is tonight
Or with whoever she spends her time
If these arms were meant to hold her
They were never meant to hold her so tight
For the love of that girl
Greed's all gone now, panic subsides
When I could run, pulling arms to love her
Try to put myself on the inside
Of the love of that girl
Tears swell, you don't know why
For the love of that girl
They never fall, they can never run dry
For the love of that girl
Promise is never over, never questions that needed reply
But she could breathe deep into my neck
Let me know I'm just on the outside
Of the love of that girl
Tears swell, you don't know why
For the love of that girl
They never fall, they can never run dry
For the love of that girl
Greed's all gone now, there's no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ears
Regain your balance
Doesn't matter where she is tonight
Or with whoever she spends her time
If these arms were meant to hold her
They were never meant to hold her so tight
For the love of that girl
Tears swell, you don't know why
For the love of that girl
They never fall, they can never run dry
For the love of that girl
tindersticks - are you trying to fall in love again
My my, it doesnt matter what you say
From the start, I hang off every word you say
Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again?
Does it make it all right?
Are you trying to fall in love again?
Now, Im a hard man gone soft
The lines were so clear then
How did I ever get by?
There was a time I hang off every word you say
Every breath you blew, I was running to inhale
Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again?
Does it make it all right?
Are you trying to fall in love again?
My my, there will be other days
It comes and goes, you know it never stays
Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again?
Oh, tonight, are you trying to fall in love again?
Does it make it all right?
Are you trying to fall in love again?
Does it make it all right?
Youre trying to fall in love again
tindersticks - ballad of tindersticks
The first time we flew in
It was cheap and cramped
The vodka running out half-way across the Atlantic
Even the steward screamed and joined in it
We didn't think we were going to make it
Now we're stretched out in wide, furry seats
Flicking through menus
A walk to the bar and there's as much screw-top champagne as we can drink
We're so easy
Taking turns having our photos taken
Sitting in front of small windows
Decanters of cheap whiskey in our hands
Drive into Manhattan on a date with a starlet who's just talent
That's what people pay the money to see
Who are we to argue?
Five hours now it's been going on
And still we're watching all of it
Can you really believe all this?
Can he really lie in bed at night and marvel at his own genius?
When do you lose the ability to step back
And get a sense of your own ridiculousness?
They're only songs
Midnight, and it's all over
Now it can really make us laugh
We're standing on our heads drinking sours of Crystal Schnapps
Now we're unable to step back or forward
Swallowing a swallow
Tasting it again, it's not so unpleasant
Perhaps it's an acquired taste
The first time, it makes you sick
Then, little by little, it becomes delicious
Showbiz people
Always there to be interested in what you say
We are artists; we are sensitive and important
We nod our heads earnestly
Already half-way down the champagne
On our way to leaving the place dry
A $2,000 bar bill
Showbiz picks up the tab
And we're on our way laughing
Laughing at what?
Los Angeles, eight days in
And our sense of irony's running pretty thin
All the friends we've made
It's 2 am, it's closing time at the Dresden
Marty and Layton play one last sleepy "Strangers in the Night"
And the last of the martinis dribble down our chins
We're sitting, chasing the conservation around the table
Jesus, how long have I been in this state?
The limousine's still waiting outside
Anything you want to do?
Anywhere you want to go?
We're on our way to the airport and a plane to Vegas
So many nights lying in bed shaking
Dreaming of pushing my daughter around the supermarket
The joy of seeing all those colours and shapes reflected in her wide eyes
My head leaning on the window
And we're driving through the empty L.A. streets
And everything seems silent and beautiful
A guy's face hits the floor
Police revolvers glistening in the streetlight
Onto Melrose and lurching through a sea of Halloween transvestites
The flight's cancelled, but it doesn't matter
We turn this corner to a way that takes us wherever
Up to Sunset
We creep up the drive to the Shattuck
The suite Belushi died in
Or the one Morrison hung out of the window
Oh, I'll go for Jim's
I would fancy a little window-hanging myself, tonight, man
Straight over to the mini-bar
Open the champagne -- one sip and it's left to wake up to
Anyone hungry?
A team of uniformed waiters lay out an elaborate table for all us to ignore
Oh, the irony
How we're used to living
Back in London on a cold Friday night
Do you want another drink?
Well, I could try
Perhaps we could make it to the Atlantic
600 yards, twenty minutes later
We're pushing through the waiting crowd, all fish eyes
An exclusive door policy
Exclusively for arseholes
And tonight? Well, a nod of our heads, and we're inside
Falling down the red, velvety stairs
Limbs flaying, hands searching for something to steady
Pick ourselves up, nothing broken
Just aches in the morning
No one seems to notice
I find a table, champagne arrives
I've been so drunk, I sit and look at you
We try and talk for the first time in a long time
Drunken confessions
You shiver, it made you feel sick
We use the rent money to pay the bill
Bumping shoulders, we stumble out into Soho
Slipping over the sleeping bags
Shouting for taxis
tindersticks - bathtime
There's a city filth that lingers
All over my naked hands
Deep into the weave of the clothes I wear
And every step brings another
Every hour adds some more
Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door
Are the taps running, darling?
Is the air thick with steam?
Can I find some place to cry these tears of shame?
And every step brings another
Every hour adds some more
Till I'm on the other side leaning on your door
There's a smell so sweet it's sickly
It follows me into the room
Hangs in the air like rotting perfume
I never bathe in it, darling
Got down on my hands and knees
Got in so far, I became, well, a part of it all
I've been wading through it
Don't you know it's up to my neck?
And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head
And it's the thought of you in my mind, keeps me here.
Thought I knew these streets, and how they turn
Could always find my way home
There's something there, I can't leave it alone
The trains they run all night
We could leave everything behind
Just bring that dress you wore when we first met
I know it's faded, darling
I know it's tattered and worn
In that dress I could never love you more
I've been wading through it
Don't you know it's up to my neck?
And it won't be long 'fore it's over my head
And I can suck it into my love, breathe it in
tindersticks - bearsuit
I'm laying on my back
She climbs over me
Pricks out her nails
Runs them over my proud belly
I'm a tired, hungry bear
Spoiled and sleepy
Her finger's on my zipper
She pulls it down slowly
I'm not ready
Turn over, settle down again
Throw her off
But she's back again
I've been out all night
Get in at dawn
And I've still got honey
Dripping from my claws
I'm a tired, hungry bear
Spoiled and sleepy
Her finger's on my zipper
She pulls it down slowly
I'm not ready
Turn over, settle down again
Throw her off
But she's back again
tindersticks - before you close your eyes
Just as your eyes are closing
There was something that I meant to say
Like falling from my heart
But I don't know how
Before you close your eyes
I don't know how
Chorus:
I never cry for our love
I never cry
I never cry for our love
I never cry
There's no goodbye
These hands have always lived through mine
Now everything I touch I feel I don't know how
Before you close your eyes
I don't know how
Chorus
I'm so cynical
It's in my face and
It's just the bird I caught
Leaves its taste hanging round round round
Chorus
Just as your eyes are closing
There was something that I meant to say
Like falling from my heart
But I don't know how
Before you close your eyes
I don't know how
Chorus
Never cry.... never cry
tindersticks - blood
Was there once something so pure
That left me whole and precious?
But now, broken, wondering
Why this new ingredient?
Everything I crave I become
Everything I left forgotten
Everything I love I become
Cos that's what happens when you reach the bottom
Chorus:
Where does the blood go?
It runs away from broken lives
Where does the blood go?
It runs away from broken lives
There's an ugly crowd here beside me
They specialise in violations
Once they numbered only a handful
Grew out the ashes of what we had good
There'll be another awkward scene tonight
Quickly averting our eyes
When we see what there is left of
(Chorus)
Our love hangs here beside us
From its feet, twitching, desperate
The juice that splash our white boots
Now they're matted and confused
There'll be another ugly scene tonight
As we refuse to accept the obvious
We panic and jump up and down
Trying to suck those last breaths
(Chorus)
tindersticks - buried bones
With Ann Magnusson
I could take all the craziness out of you
That's what I loved you for
Take away all the oranges, greens and blues
That's what I loved you for
Take a look at me
You think it really could be that easy?
I mean, take a look at me
You think it really could be that easy for you?
I know about guys, I know where they live
And you're just the same
The ones that matter fight against themselves
But it's so hard to change
Hey, I could love you
Take all that love away from you
Hey, I could love you
Put you in this box I've made for two
So you could take all this craziness out of me
That's what you love me for
Well, I don't mean to laugh
But if you know all this
You must be halfway there
Well, like that dress tonight, you won't know as it falls from you
Turn around and it's winter, darling
Look in the mirror and it won't be you
So you're an old, old dog
You've been around the block
So many times
And it's the same old turns
Same old feelings straight down the line
Yeah, I can love you
Grab that leash and drag you to a place you'd never know
I know where my bones are buried
May take me a while, but I'd find my way home
tindersticks - can our love
Finding love
Now seems like the easy part
Just turn round the corner
You standing there
I felt the wind
Was pushing behind us there
It's taking us someplace that darling we've never been
Don't you feel the wind
It's pushing us further now
Are we just gonna let it blow
And hold on, don't you fall
Cause there's such a way to go
We've touched it now
Don't let it go
Can our love, can our love
Grow any further
Can our love, can our love
Grow any further
Can our love, can our love
Grow any further
Can our love, can our love
Grow any further
Don't you feel the wind
It's pushing us further now
Are we just gonna let it blow
And you stand, don't you fall
Cause there's such a way to go
We've touched it now
We've touched it, don't let it go
But you see my love
When everything's pushing now
Everything's moving now
And I don't know where to go
We've touched it now, let it show, let it show
Can our love, can our love
Grow any further
Can our love, can our love
Grow any further
Can our love, can our love
I feel in my heart I can't wait any longer
Can our love, can our love
Can our love, can our love grow any further
Sometimes we see that our love can change
And I don't know why
But it's not enough to change our hearts

tindersticks - can we start again
So many times
I said that I love them
Looking over my shoulder at the door
So many times
I can't live without her
The wheel kept turning round
My feeling's changed
I went my own way
What can I say
To make you stay?
Cos in my dreams
They smother all over me
And I'm trying to explain
So many arms
Reach from my memories
Pull all at once
I'm lost amongst
The folds in their skin
I did you wrong
But I'm sorry now
And I'll show you how
If you were here now
You couldn't change
you wouldn't understand
but I'm ready now I'm ready now
I'll make you proud I was your man
and sing a song
but it's so ugly now
and I'll show you how
cos I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
Hey I'm ready now
Can we start again?
so many times I said that I loved them
I'm ready now
but I'm ready now
Can we start again?
so many times
I can't live without her
The years was more than I could bear
It's turning round
But in my dreams Can we start again?
They smother all over me I'm ready now
And I'm trying to explain Can we start again?
So many arms reach from my memory
The wheels kept turning round
tindersticks - cf gf
There is a need in me darling
For you I can't tell
The hole that's inside me
That drains as it fills
You know these arms
How they hold you so tight
And these needs of mine
I can't tell either way
Say what you want now make you cry
You say how you feel make you cry
Forget all the trying now make you cry
It does not matter no more
You know these arms
How they hold you so tight
These needs of mine
I can't tell either way
Make you cry
Tell you lies
Never say goodbye
Hey there we go again
I'm running around
I don't know what I'm trying to say
For I let it all out
You know these arms
How they hold you so tight
And these needs of mine
I can't tell either way
Some nights I could crawl in beside anyone
I won't make you cry
Tell you lies
Never say goodbye
There is a need in me darling
For you I can't tell
The hole that's inside me
That drains as it fills
I won't make you cry
Tell you lies
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye.... fade out
tindersticks - cherry blossoms
A black television screen
Snow white and black
Deep and open
Splashing against the windows
Looking out onto a three-terrace town
There's a garden, grey-green
And cherry blossoms
Get in in the morning (All seasons here, saved for a rainy day)
Climb in beside you (A part of a hole)
Watch the clock for half an hour (An orange and its peel)
It's cold on the outside
There's steam on the windows (A star in a night sky)
And I put myself there all the time (A gentle beauty)
You let me forget again
And I snore on and on
You let me forget again
Forget how it feels to be wrong
If I could show her completely (Funny how everything makes you feel low when you're already low)
But it comes out so drunkardly now (Lying on the bed, the light-bulb banging down)
Fall over on my words (Get up, pull the sheet from the window, to see the rain still coming down)
That peace when the door slams (Downstairs there's hot coffee, sit down to a cigarette)
Soon shattered the hot light (Down to the filter, another and down to my last)
I came so well-oiled (Another and my last penny)
You let me forget again (4 a.m. 6 feet down. Already up with the larks)
And I came stumbling through
You let me forget again (4 a.m. 6 feet down. Already up with the larks)
Forget what I always knew
