I Got No Use For The Women
Lyrics by Gary Osborne
Available on the album A Single Man
It's paradise here where the sun meets the sea
There's nothing to fear and so much to be
But soon I must go, say goodbye to it all
That homeland of mine is beginning to call
Goodbye doesn't mean this has to be the end
Fading dreams grow cold as ice
And I got a feeling we will meet again
When we return to paradise
The wind in our hair and the sun in our eyes
There's no need for tears and no time for lies
So reach out your hand and I'll reach out my heart
R
For What Reason
This won't be the last you'll hear from me: it's just the start.
I hope that he keeps you up for weeks like you did to me.
I will hold a candle up to you to singe your skin.
Brace yourself: I'm bent with bitterness. I can't forsee.
When your apologies fail to ring true,
(you're) so slick with that sarcastic slew
of phrases like "i thought you knew"
while keeping me in hot pursuit.
Tracing the plot finds
skin touching skin
(absence follows).
In the end, I win every time as ink remains.
Sour tastes prevail as you play back the tape machine.
When your apologies fail to ring true,
(you're) so slick with that sarcastic slew
of phrases like "i thought you knew"
while keeping me in such hot pursuit.
Tracing the plot finds
skin touching skin
(absence follows).
