- Brand New Start
take advantage of the season
to take off your overcoat
the spirits will lift off those young men you provoke
but i'll be laughing, knowing i will take you home
there ain't no lover like the one i've got
ain't no lover like the one ive got
she and i have a brand new start
- Don't Watch Me Dancing
Margarida has a strange appeal
Sways between suitors on a broken heel
Of course her desires they always mistook
She'd rather've been scarred than be scarred with loathe
In conversation she often contends
Costumes build customs that involve dead ends
She found her courage in a change of scene
- How to Hang a Warhol
Mama someday you'll be so proud of me
You'll see me hangin in a New York gallery
Someday I'm gonna drop from my left side of my brain
People are gonna ask "Is it brilliant o plain?"
But as long as I don't know
how to hang a warhol
I'll keep sketching birds
- Keep Me In Mind
Read from start to end and again
Hold the feelings which are crossing the brain
Strips the chord of a sensible word
And what's worse?
She left her mark, indelible
Oh the nature of her scripted verse
Keeps my eyes set on the page
- No One's Better Sake
One thought, has me turning back
A dozen point the other way
We act upon desire
To reach your hand for higher
And patience isn't worth the wait
You've got knifes in your eyes
You would be happy not to change your mind
- Play the Part
Spending time
Convinced that it's mine with her
Just to keep her out of mind
Still I'll take care to see
Which way the wind blows, notice how her hair curls
Pay no mind to the clown who sits to your side
- Shoulder to Shoulder
Shoulder to shoulder, amused but not advanced
He, she, you, me, it's all just circumstance
Eager, hopeful, content to play the friend
Timid advances with mutual regret
She can't always be wrong, he can't always be right
Not a matter of choice, just a matter of time
- The Next Time Around
One too many goals
That measure out your worth
To seek your weight in gold
Sat by the ivory sill
The further out you look
The further out you'll be
