Bring on the Night
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1] The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads itself against the sky Waiting for tomorrow, it's just another day As I bid yesterday goodbye
[Chorus] Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
[Verse 2] The future is but a question mark Hangs above my head there in the dark Can't see for the brightness is staring me blind As I bid this yesterday goodbye

Deathwish
[Verse 1] Death wish in the fading light Headlight pointing through the night Never thought I'd see the day Playing with my life this way
[Verse 2] Gotta keep my foot right down If I had wings I'd leave the ground Burning in the outside lane People think that I'm insane Insane
[Verse 3] The day I take a bend too fast Judgement that could be my last I'll be wiped right off the slate Don't wait up 'cause I'll be late I'll be late

On Any Other Day
[Intro] "The other ones are complete bullshit You want something corny You got it"
[Verse 1] There's a house on my street and it looks real neat I'm the chap who lives in it There's a tree on the sidewalk, there's a car by the door I'll go for a drive in it And when the wombat comes, he will find me gone He'll look for a place to sit
[Chorus] My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay
[Verse 2] Cut off my fingers in the door of my car How could I do it My wife is proud to tell me of her love affairs How could she do this to me
[Chorus] My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay
[Bridge] And it would be okay on any other day And it would be okay on any other day
[Verse 3] Throw down the morning papers and spill my tea I don't know what's wrong with me The cups and plates are in a conspiracy I'm covered in misery
[Chorus] My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay
[Post-Chorus] And it would be okay on any other day And it would be okay on any other day And it would be okay on any other day (Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you) And it would be okay on any other day (Happy birthday, dear daddy, happy birthday to you) And it would be okay on any other day (Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you) And it would be okay on any other day (Happy birthday, dear daddy, happy birthday to you)

The Bed's Too Big Without You
[Verse 1] Bed's too big without you Cold wind blows right through that open door I can't sleep with your memory Dreaming dreams of what used to be When she left I was cold inside That look on my face was just pride No regrets, no love, no tears Living on my own was the least of my fears
[Chorus] The bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big Without you
[Verse 2] Since that day when you'd gone Just had to carry on I get through the day, but late at night Love to my pillow, but it didn't feel right Every day, just the same Old rules for the same old game All I gained was heartache All I made was one mistake
[Chorus] Now the bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big Without you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus] The bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big Without you Without you
[Outro] Bed's too big without you Cold wind blows right through that open door

Does Everyone Stare
[Verse 1] I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I'm in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late I knew you never asked for this, I know My shots will always misfire, my shots will always miss
[Chorus] Does everyone stare this way at you I only look this way at you
[Verse 2] I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I get the heebie-jeebies and my panic makes me late I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home
[Chorus] Does everyone stare the way I do I only stare this way at you
[Verse 3] I never noticed the size of my feet Until I kicked you in the shins Will you ever forgive me For the shape I'm in For the shape I'm in
[Chorus] Does everyone stare the way I do I only stare this way at you
[Bridge] I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart Last of all I'm sorry 'cause you never asked for this I can see I'm not your type and my shot will always miss, always miss
[Outro] Does everyone stare the way I do I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do

No Time This Time
[Verse 1] No time for the niceties of conversation No time for smiles, no time for knowing Less time for intricacies of explanation Less time for caring, even less for showing
[Pre-Chorus] If I could, I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to its knees, I'd stop it spinning 'round But as it is, I'm climbing up an endless wall
[Chorus] No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time
[Verse 2] No time for a quick kiss at the railway station Just time for a suitcase, sandwich, and a morning paper Only time for time tables and transportation No time to think, no time to dare
[Pre-Chorus] If I could, I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to its knees, I'd stop it spinning 'round But as it is, I'm climbing up an endless wall
[Chorus] No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time, no
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus] If I could, I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to its knees, I'd stop it spinning 'round But as it is, I'm climbing up an endless wall
