ALL I CARE FOR my belly aches, my heart breaks can i stay with you, can i follow you in Africa, at the swimming pool, on your bicycle, in the men's room, in a cable car, wherever you are wherever you are, whatever you do can i stay with you, can i follow you there's nothing i want more, it's all i care for it's getting late, my hands shake can i stay with you, can i follow you in your dreams, under the ground, in the Caribbean, all the way down, on the rock of Gibraltar, wherever you are i can not speak, my knees are weak can i stay with you, can i follow you all the time, in the shower, in waiting lines, for hours, in a cocktail bar, wherever you are

NO, NO, NO i love you so much, so much i look at you i blush you're so funny, you've no idea you're as cute as one can be no, no, no i won't let you go i feel at my best with my head on your chest it makes me feel so well you and your delicious smell what a thrill, what a thrill i can feel it still what a dream, what a dream i melt like ice cream

NOT READY i never meant to let you know i was feeling that way about it i hadn't slept for weeks then, i was running out of smiles you say we've talked this over, honestly, i doubt it you just left traces of broken glasses on the tiles february 26th, hungover, overslept again ran out of filters and hot water, looked for a lighter, bumped my head and it hurt ran out of the house and ran after the train wet too from the rain in yesterday's shirt i'm not ready for you i'm not ready, not ready for you i care dear, you know i do but i'm not ready for you will you think i really haven't seen you at Marcy's party, later at the deli, in a million squares and parks outside the cinema on Shaftesbury avenue you standing in the light, me running in the dark

MONSTERS when i drew the curtain to let the light in the night had come, just imagine i shuffled my feet to the door on the cold spotless floor the door wouldn't open or i didn't really try my head hurt and i didn't know why i turned around and you were there asleep, unstirred, unaware their eyes are small but their looks are deep i hear them call when i'm trying to sleep they creep and crawl and fall and leap i'm a grown up and all but it makes me wanna weep once you were gonna be away overnight so i pressed “play” and turned off the light giving way to blue moonbeams that turned the music into screams among the bugs and monsters lurking in dark corners there must have been a fairy but still it scared me the light went out and i was alone a stranger in my own home i kicked two ashtrays and three socks trying to find the fuse box when i made it back to the bed they were all inside my head i tried to close my eyes in vain soon the sun would rise again

A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME SO i love you, i love you so a little bird told me so my love for you will never ever go that little bird told me so i was hit by Cupid i said : “Don't shoot, don't shoot” maybe i'm stupid maybe i'm just cute you're never out of my mind i kept it a secret, i tried but you know what: it suits me fine i'm pacified you're never out of my mind and you know what, it suits me fine you hold my hand when i'm cold inside the pocket of your coat and i feel like a little bird i own the world

PAIN you don't feel anything but pain a huge pain how can i re-tune make you feel my love, my love for years i wore a smile i couldn't even cry i'll never ever love again i'll never fall in love again it'll take you by surprise it'll take you by surprise

TWEET TWEET Jonny Jones lived up trees as a young boy his parents adored him and called him Jonnaboy when they kept him in, Jonnaboy was sore he couldn't stand a bit of life behind doors so Jonnaboy lived up trees as a young boy up there in the trees he didn't care for toys Jonnaboy was happy, Jonnaboy was spoiled he even had a friend: the neighbors' son, Roy tweet tweet, living in the trees swinging in the branches so Jonnaboy lived up trees with Roy, the neighbors'son they were as close together as a first finger and a thumb they had their world on top, they had their world on trees where no-one could climb to, not even monkeys the trees changed as the seasons passed and Roy had to go to class Roy grew up faster than Jonny did and as he grew older he grew a ginger beard Jonnaboy felt lonely without Roy in the tree Roy got busy kissing a girl named Lee Jonny was sorry, Jonny came lately he cried all the time, he cried like a baby but Roy had a sister, her name was Ruth she fell in love with Jonny in her early youth she would secretly watch him from her bedroom window she knew everything about him and Jonny didn't know her brother had never let her come along but it was time for her to talk to Jon anyway Roy was no longer up there and she realised that now he wouldn't even care she baked Jonny's favorite biscuits cookies with chocolate bits and used that as an excuse to go out and see him when she got there she caught him daydreaming she gave him a jump, his forehead hit the trunk it was black and blue, he got a bump he looked at her, he bowled over and caught hold of a branch the branch broke, he tumbled, he fell in a puddle, he got drenched they looked at each other, doubled up with laughter they couldn't stop and caught their breath a long time after Jonny looked at Ruth, she was a sight to see he said : “Would you like to climb my tree ?” she looked at his bump and said : “ It doesn't hurt, does it ? ” then she started to sweat, and dropped her basket she said : “Goodbye”, and ran back home she left Jonny all wet and all alone She closed her window shades, sighed and disappeared fear of heights was her highest fear he meant the world to her, she had to get over it she couldn't stop it, she couldn't ignore it Jonny thought of Ruth day and night and night and day wondering why, why did she ran away was it something he did, was it something he said he tried to figure it out, he failed Jonny had fallen, fallen in love at first sight Jonny's head was swollen, he lost his appetite he looked forever at Ruth's window for a sign one night he saw her silhouette lit from behind he sent her a paper plane with sweet sweet words in it she sent one back to explain her fears and worries he climbed down his tree and waited for Ruth he was so happy she had told him the truth not speaking his heart he would never have known barking up the wrong tree he would have ended up alone now if you ever wonder where Ruth and Jonny are they're sitting under a tree looking at the stars

HIGH TIDES if the rain falls and the sun shines you will think of me sometimes if the wind blows and the land slides i'll send you high tides we let soft water come between us we hadn't been worth salt for peanuts but you know what: i don't mind at least we cared, at least we tried cleaning up my closet, found your shirt i wondered whose it was at first when i go to bed i wear it i know it's strange but i like the smell of it you told me when you came around my sun was sinking into the ground i found it cute, but it was true i thought of my first trip with you the part i liked the most was the drive along the coast the driver's jokes, the rearview glances he called us Mr and Mrs
