1. HOME ALONE 4

Gently my eyelids close, I'd rather be good than clever
I'd rather have all facts wrong than no reply whatever
I learned before I could speak with those "being patient eyes"
When God created my kind. But he forgot to tell me why
So gently my eyelids close
All alone, at home I sit
I'm very tired of it
Burn the midnight oil or pour it on my salad
I lost the thread I thought I had

Led by hearts & ears
Memory lagging behind
No shame being a fool
I got many things on my mind
Pick up the phone on first riiiing
I never get out anymore
There's nowhere to go
But back and there's quicksand outside my door
So gently my eyelids close
All alone, at home I sit
I'm very tired of it
Burn the midnight oil or pour it on my salad
I lost the thread I thought I had
I lost it. I lost it. Yeah!
Is that a shadow or a hole in the floor?
And what's that noise outside my door?
Home alone. On my own. And all alone.


2. FAVOURS

I couldn't trust me to the corner
Close my eyes and forgetting where I'm at
I know I haven't lost my mind

I won't let it get me down
But, something moves across the room as slow as winter

Favours for the ungrateful
Sometimes pleased, never satisfied
Favours for the ungrateful
Unqualified and hateful
Favours for the unwilling
And all the time revealing
How truthful I can get
As close to what I really meant
Favours for the ungrateful

I hope I haven't lost my mind
But, tomorrow is a hammer swinging at my head
I won't let that get me down
It's apologies unspoken with regret

I've been stuck on a pin
Had my wings pulled off
Down niagara in a barrel
Pride's not hard to swallow
All you do is chew
When love plans for tomorrow
Loneliness dreams of yesterday

Favours for the...
