Selling Dreams Everyday you’d fall for someone or something, living in Berlin this city got my ears ringing the same old tune just don’t ask me what school that I went to We always tremble alone, we move together never settle on sacred ground they don’t see what I see now You're selling dreams and walking paths kissing cowboys buying houses that you know will fall apart viewing screens and drawing graphs between romance and betrayal from your past building houses that will one day fall apart Listen to the stupid things they say like it's either right or wrong, it's only black or white I can’t keep no promises, but I won't tell lies I'll promise you anything, for tonight We always tremble alone, but we move together never settle on sacred ground they don’t see what I see now You're selling dreams and walking paths kissing cowboys buying houses that you know will fall apart viewing screens and drawing graphs between romance and betrayal from your past building houses that will one day fall apart

It Ain’t Easy For Easy of Us Somewhere in the city in a nowhere part of town I pictured your shadow beside me on the ground give you time, get loneliness this ain’t easy for either of us now It ain’t easy for either of us now Somewhere from the other side you call my name you’re wanting answers I guess I want the same found old letters that you wrote they don’t make it easier but you got letters of your own It ain’t easy for either of us now It ain’t easy for either of us now Somewhere in the future at the end of the show I don’t want you thinking that I didn’t know when the lights go out and the stage in clean I hope you know that I know you were aching just like me It ain’t easy for either of us now It ain’t easy for either of us now It ain’t easy, It ain’t easy, It ain’t easy It ain’t easy for either of us now

East Side 03:40
East Side Hannah and Krissy, Ally and Chloe always covered in perfume fumes Elly and Julie, hanging with the rich boys in polo shirts and jeans so blue Lucy and Charlotte, Sally and Stacy I only ever saw from a far Sophie & Clancy they never stopped dancing around that champagne bar You were born on the east side honey I could never change that You were born on the east side honey It's a matter of fact Lily and Laura, Kelly was boring never read much philosophy Holly and Helen, Anna and Abby and the one who wore sequins I never did remember her name Lauren and Maddy, were almost sisters they lived on the same avenue Amy and Eleanor were always on the east end acting all righteous like there so much better than you You were born on the east side honey I could never change that You were born on the east side honey spending all of daddy's pay cheques You were born on the east side honey I could never change that You were born on the East Side Honey It's a matter of fact You could be laughing well, I wouldn't care fixed up in fashion just to watch them stop & stare

I’ll Never Know Your Name Buried my lover in the spring street station hailing from the southern states met in the warmth of the subway car I forgot to get off the train talking to much we got carried away nothing could have pulled you back ‘cause you’re walking out now to the fashion week crowds where they tell you all the things that you lack so you spend more money I’ll never know your name When I was a boy papa played cassettes and he only wore second hand shoes there was a speaker in the living room singing don’t think twice to you I’m not the kind of guy to be polite if I really don’t need to when you living your life as a vagabond there’s some people that you have to choose for now I’m tangled up in you I’ll never know your name I remember eyes light up like Santa Monica Pier I’ll never know your name My My My Times like these they come like California rain I’ll never know your name Having something to prove can’t take so long when you finally make the choice to be alone Living your life walking down a oneway road 'cause you can't buy your courage from the grocery store I’ll never know your name I remember eyes so bright I’ll never know your name My My My Times like these they come like California rain I’ll never know your name I’ll never know your name I remember eyes, I remember eyes I’ll never know your name My My My Times like these, oh times like these

Blood & Wine 03:32
Blood & Wine I fell off the train with a hole in my head a dead folk musician and a dry bottle of red there’s a drunk on the street singing nursery rhymes he got the missiles, but the man can hardly stand he gonna let ‘em fly tonight as a cocktail of blood and wine pours down my cheeks My life is like an empty parking lot its made to be fulfilled but you just can’t find your spot Much like a country counter shop take what you can get but it’s never what you want A country singer shouts to those who only like the disco the bartenders in the bathroom sniffing on snow white while the dogs keep on barking at the nightclub door They’re howling for forgiveness, they only want forgiveness I hate the way these places never let you leave I wind up every night beside a guy who looks like Jesus Christ My life is like an empty parking lot its made to be fulfilled but you just can’t find your spot Much like a country counter shop take what you can get but it’s never what you want No one gave you all the things you ever wanted your siblings always got their way, didn’t they no one gave a damn about your prestige college while you were hoping that they would some day My life is like an empty parking lot its made to be fulfilled but you just can’t find your spot Much like a country counter shop take what you can get but it’s never what you want

Yours For Life I fell alone from a sky no longer fit to call a home for a man who wonders how imagination leads to his desires you need not to view upon fields of stars forever to see them changing So if you see me tumbling, tiresome still alive with tears for wiping shake them off and if you hear me fumbling, frightened from this day forward I’m yours for life we’ll make it up you can bathe me in whatever you got I went to hold you just as I held them away from streaming down my weary face you dressed in lace I hardly recognised you walking down, grandmothers gown it was hanging from your precious shoulders So if you see me tumbling, tiresome still alive with tears for wiping shake them off and if you feel me fumbling, frightened from this day forward I’m yours for life we’ll make it up you can bathe me in whatever you got So if you see me tumbling, tiresome still alive with tears for wiping shake them off and if you feel me fumbling, frightened from this day forward I’m yours for life we’ll make it up you can bathe me in whatever you got while your picture sits a shrine upon my wall

Pavlova 04:33
Pavlova Pine needles perfume hanging in the air well I took a tram to the city square decorations line the streets chalk dust underneath my feet I walked through chinatown alone The televisions cheering from the other room I ran inside to see who bowled who while the uncles where playing darts I got talking to the aunts I don't know how but I guess they knew Don't cancel christmas this year I'm saying I need you here when wish list morning comes and all the carols have been sung I know there's things I'd have done differently they soon become my new years resolutions all I feel is dissolution I want my christmas red and green and with you don't make it blue Red and white of a candy cane thoughts roll back that I can't explain like when I tied the tinsel to the patio where I swung you round to and fro pavlova, paper crowns there ain't no tinsel now and they've just called stumps on day two Don't cancel christmas this year I'm saying I need you here when wish list morning comes and all the carols have been sung I know there's things I'd have done differently they soon become my new years resolutions but all I feel is dissolution I want my christmas red and green and with you don't make it blue Pavlova, paper crowns there ain't no tinsel now and the uncles started singing “blue, blue, blue suede shoes, blue, blue, blue suede shoes, you can do what you want but lay off of my blue suede shoes” Don't cancel christmas this year I'm saying I need you here when wish list morning comes all the carols have been sung I know there's things I'd have done differently they soon become my new years resolutions but all I feel is dissolution I want my christmas red and green and with you don't make it blue

Stuck In Amsterdam I guess she’ll never leave this town she was busy saying something about how she was cursed and tired of letting sweeter people down European lifestyle meltdown getting away from the regular crowd you’re gonna need some space, need some time, gonna need your pills Sometimes things don’t work out how you plan stuck in Amsterdam Sometimes things don’t work out how you plan stuck in Amsterdam She's a wanderer or probably lost she's to centred on the cost would it be a little different if we hadn’t crashed the car that night One more cheap hotel would give me reason to leave this hell I only need a reason, I only need one more reason Sometimes things don’t work out how you plan Stuck in Amsterdam Sometimes things don’t work out how you plan Stuck in Amsterdam
9.
A Different Side To You Stole all your parents liquor from the kitchen shelf trying to convince every high school sweetheart you’re the one they’ll never forget Tried to make your lovers folks fall in love with all your jokes so you could stay for dinner maybe stay the night But you know, you’re no one at all but you still, still wear your mask to protect yourself There must be a different side to you There must be a different side to you Breaking ties with those that you should have never tried to follow cardboard clouds they cast a shadow hope exists despite their wits a kingdom built upon the others rubble now they’re all just working for the government and you couldn't care less But you know, you’re no one at all but you still, still wear your mask to protect yourself There must be a different side to you There must be a different side to you Pulling apart your own life just to justify it to others kissing everyone you can for some sweet sick kind of validation cutting down trees just to re-write sad history that's only bound to repeat itself There must be a different side to you There must be a different side to you
10.
It's A Heartache It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Hits you when you're too late Hits you when you're down It's a fool's game Nothing but a fools game Standing in the cold rain Feeling like a clown It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Love him till your arms break Then he lets you down It ain't right with love to share When you find he doesn't care, for you It ain't wise to need someone As much as I depended on, you It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Hits you when it's too late Hits you when you're down It's a fool's game Nothing but a fools game Standing in the cold rain Feeling like a clown It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Love him till your arms break Then he lets you down It ain't right with love to share When you find he doesn't care, for you It ain't wise to need someone As much as I depended on, you It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Love him till your arms break Then he lets you down
