Fine Line

If I can't see you you don't exist
Not in my memory, just my left wrist
You're a shadow casting spectre baby
Black cloud across my mind
When I found you well I almost lost my mind
I tried to beat you but you wiped me clean
Tried to defeat you my shattered dreams
You're a roaring fire baby
A light across my ditch
When I concede you baby I get that cold turkey itch
Like rigour mortis, you're setting in
The sounds of silence making such a din
Well I never felt so hungry baby
So hungry I could die
And just as I gasp my last breath you go and look me in the eye
I feel you moving under my skin
It's got me thinking about where you've been
You're a gutter princess baby
It's enough to make me smile
I need you like an overdue goodbye
I took a needle to help me sleep
I had a bank note rolled up under my sheets
But it doesn't match up baby
Doesn't match up to the high
That courses into my veins when you plunge into my mind
Well theres a fine line
Theres a fine line
Yes a fine line
I said just a fine line
Between, oh between, love and...
Well theres a fine line
Theres a fine line
Yes a fine line
I said just a fine line
Between, oh between, love and hate

Have you seen my friend Jack
He dresses all in black
He just left here about an hour ago
Well you just missed my friend Jack
Oh oh oh my friend jack
Its different when he's not here
And I've only got enough for a beer
People start staring at the way I am
Well I wish that he was here
Oh oh oh my friend jack
We had trouble me and him
My eyes are black and so's my chin
I didn't see it coming there were four of them
And they didn't even go for him
Oh oh oh my friend jack
It's your round and mines a Jack
Please dress it all in black
I'll tell you a tale about the two of us
Oh me and my friend Jack
Woah oh oh, my friend Jack
Oh oh oh, my friend Jack

Baby, whats wrong with you
I said, Baby, whats wrong with you
Doing all the things that
You warned me not to do
Baby, whats on your mind
Baby, whats on your mind
Why do you think you do it
You treat me so unkind
Well I had to think and ask myself why
If you're gonna sink baby, I'm a gonna fly
I said, Baby, whats wrong with you
You're doing all the things that
You warned me not to do
Baby, whats wrong with you
I said, Baby, whats wrong with you
Doing all the things that
You warned me not to do
Well I had to think and ask myself why
If you're gonna sink baby, I'm a gonna fly
I said, Baby, whats wrong with you
You're doing all the things that
All of the things that
You're doing all the things that
You didn't want me to do.

Fortune Teller (Cover)

Went to the fortune teller
Had my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head
When she took a look at my palm
She said son are you feeling kinda warm?
And she looked into her crystal ball
And said you're in love
I said I could not be so
I'm not passionate with the girls I know
She said when the next one arrives
You'll be looking into her eyes
I left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me lies
I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as I could be
I told her I didn't see nobody
Why'd she made a fool out of me
Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love
Now I'm a happy fellow
Well, I am married to the fortune teller
Well happy as me can be
Now I get my fortune told for free
Now I'm a happy fellow
Well, I am married to the fortune teller
Well happy as me can be
And now I get my fortune told for free

Jacking Up

He was always safest with his sister
But she went and died and he didn’t understand
His ma and pa were never good assistance.
So he went to see a priest with wandering hands
She tried to stop her stepfathers persuasions
Well he should have felt the town square gallows noose
She tried to tell her mother of his invasions
Well, now, she’s not welcome under their roof
On the streets they hid away
Anonymously spent their days
They found each other anyway
But it rained in London everyday they had
Everyday they had
Well pass the teaspoon pass the wool
pass the lighter and needle
Lie back there and get comfy
i’ll do you then you do me.
Well they could always go and find a little sunshine
and it didn’t cost that much for half a gram
And that could put them both out of their right minds
she took far too much and she’s met her gran
Now he’s got a room on Highbury Corner
And it looks down all the peoples heads
The pub below sells cocaine to its patrons
But even then he wishes he was dead
In his room he hid away
Anonymously spent his days
He found himself spiritually
And it’s still raining every day, thats all.
