Shame About Ray Lyrics

She takes me on a rockin' stroll

if you won't wave guess I won't know

as by I roll i hope you'll throw a smile at me

cause this here pram is all I've known

I won't be walking till I've grown

all I been shown is everything I want to see

people's knees

trunks of trees

smile at me

Looking upward to the sky

moving forward all the time

the sidewalk lines gdunk gdunk gdunk gdai

it's warm in here is it cold down there

around out where i can only stare

I'm still aware of little but I'm gonna try

He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've

the story's getting closer to the end

He ...

he'd rather be alone than pretend

She just wanted him to love her but he didn't

he took to the woods and wandered in it

walked along and on until they couldn't

stole himself to tell het that he wouldn't

(walked along and on till his legs couldn't

stole a voice to tell her that he wouldn't)

I've never been too good with names

the cellar door was open I could never stay away

I know it's probably not my place

it's either or I'm hoping

for a simple way to say

It's a shame about ray

in the stone under the dust his name is still engraved

some things need to go away

it's a shame...

if I make it through today

I'll know tomorrow not to leave my feelings out on display

I'll put the cobwebs back in place

I've never been too good with names but I remember faces

Waiting for something to break

left my heart out to bake

nothing there in my glass

wasn't never made to last

hope in my past

all the way down to the lake

found the lake was wet

how much more could i take

better yet

walked back home to my place

tired of getting high

guess I don't want to die

hope in my past

waiting for something to break

left my heart out to bake

slipped my mind that I could use my brain

I'll stay up all night and crash on the plane

a ship without a rudder is like a ship without a rudder is like a ship ...

She's coming over

we'll all go out walking

make a call on the way

she's in the phone booth now

I'm looking in

there comes a smile on her face

there's still some of the same stuff we got yesterday

I'm too much with myself I wanna be someone else

so we take off out Fiona's door

so we walk until it's light outside

like before when we were on the phone

we have to laugh to look at each other

we have to laugh cause we're not alone

as the cars fly up King St. it's enough to startle us

it's enough to startle us

I love my drug buddy my drug my drug buddy

I'm lost and the see-through

pane always needs a bath

between a want and a need-to

butterscoth streetlamps mark my path

my country was of thee
Lemonheads - Shame About Ray - http://motolyrics.com/lemonheads/shame-about-ray-lyrics.html
now why'd you have to leave

how'd this come to have to pass

butterscotch... down

I'm lost and the see-through

pane always wants a wash

I want a bit part in your life

a walk on would be fine

I just want a bit part in your life

rehearsing all time

a little more than a cameo

nothing traumatic when I go

little more than a stand-in

I won't need reprimanding

She'd shake it up

was hard to make out now it's plain to see

I couldn't cook to save myself

found my life a recipe

I never looked at her this way before

but now she's all I see

Alison's starting to happen to me

It's so mesmerizing

can't describe it all that inside hey

no one's heard her last name

I aint asked so who am I to blame

an earthquake started boiling underneath my feet today

Alison's starting to happen...

This world in topsy-turvy and it is mine to eat

she's a pebble in my mouth and underneath my feet

she's the puzzle piece behind the couch that made the sky complete

Got me watching your eyes watching things go by outside

out the window of a train

easy sipping them just seeing it fly left to right

pour the milk and I'll say when

I'm out wandering around

you're but one thing I've found

I don't mean to bring you down

I'm out wandering around

kinda hoped you wouldn't blame me

I can't wake up every day and find the same me

you can scream but I'll just dream how you might disappear

all I know is it's never clear

I can't hold you near

you just are not here

though it wasn't hard or far

i walked you to your car

Thrilled to be in the same post code as you

I tell you things I know you'd like to know

treat you to cake every night

suddenly talk and it'll make you fright

smile at me I'll hold you really tight

follow you into bed

run around until morning

we'll stay awake all night

we'll repeat the same stories but of course never in front of friends

how it all started in the kitchen

remember the time when you said we should wait awhile

you'd let me know when you'd changed your mind

yeah i was sad for some time

but 12 hours watching me at the wheel made me realize what you really feel

won't have to hurt anymore

walking you home on Mt Vernon St.

you told me secrets I was shocked to know

pretend it was me every night

I'm thrilled to be in the same post code as you

I'll come and visit maybe never go

follow you into bed...

Started out today jello in the sand

went out of my way not to understand

walked into a tree don't you look at me

see I'm not myself phoney mystery

sore afraid

that's my tune

ceiling fan in my spoon

clothed in iron there's no denyin

when you find a bent fork tine
