Favours

(album: Behind The Seen: Rare, Unreleased & B-Sides - 2009)

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
So I smile, yeah my patience drives me mad
Like the circus leaves a circle on the grass
Got to move on and let it pass
I won't let it get me down
But, something moves across the room as slow as winter

Favours for the ungrateful, yeah
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 know 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

Favours for the ungrateful, yeah
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've been stuck on a pin
Had my wings pulled off
Down Niagara in a barrel
Pride's not hard to swallow
Just chew long enough
When love plans for tomorrow
Loneliness dreams of yesterday

Favours for the ungrateful, yeah
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
