The fix is in

Don't worry about me, 'cause there's nothing wrong
just sitting out back with the porch light on
I've got an iron-clad plan, with little risk
It's all in the bag, cannot miss.


Fell apart again today I swear,
hard to feel alive when you're not there


Prefer the pencil to the pen
you can wipe it all out, and start again
The details of your life are yours to change
make it all up, or re-arrange


If you say so, I'll believe it's true.
All good stories start and end with you.
Music and Lyrics: Jeff Maser/Darryl Sweet

Lifeline

Caught between the love line
And the existential line
Too many lines
For me to sign


Caught between the lifeline
And the firing line
4-3-2-1
Ready aim!


Draw another fighting line
We shall cross and make it fine
Un-draw this line
Un-draw this line


Chorus
Living on the Lifeline
Living on the Lifeline
Living on the Lifeline
Living on the Lifeline

Everybody makes a mistake sometime

If you listen I'll tell you why
I wanted you more than birds want the sky
no I'm not supposed to say those things anymore.


Think what you will, I'll still feel the same,
well after you have forgotten my name.
Maybe I should just pack my things and go...


Chorus
Everybody makes a mistake sometime.
Everybody makes a mistake sometime.
Everybody makes a mistake sometime.
Why did I have to make a mistake this time?


I know you told me never to phone,
and I understand that you're not there alone
please don't hang up
I'll try to tell you quickly, then I'll go.


Thought the move would do me nothing but good,
you know, keep me away from our old neighborhood
and the memories, of you and me oh you've heard this all before.


It's just that, sometimes your photograph is more than enough,
and other times I want to rip it up
I'm sorry, it's just that I still miss you.


I remember your silky skin,
your happy laugh, your lovely grin.
I remember every morning waking with you next to me.
I remember your gentle kiss
and I remember your slender hips
oh please remind me exactly why I left you...
