Dinner At 6

(album: Light Peace Love - 2005)

Dinner at 6, I can no longer wait
For your call I've been waiting for days
It's hard for me to think you've forgotten my number
When we had such a nice chat the other day
Hope nothing serious has happened
It's been a good weekend
Called my mother 3 times
My streak's finally broken
It's been a while since I've seen such a lovely face
Will nothing spoil my day
Let nothing spoil my day
I'm afraid to look
Only to find
You could be like the rest
Give me a sign

You think you've figured me out
I'm a mess still you want to stay
Like fine wine this keeps getting better with time
What's the delay

Well I know this all looks bad but underneath it all
But your timing couldn't be any better this is my curtain call
Well I know you know my name, that little look you gave gave it away

So behave
I'll be nice
Mother I don't need to be told twice

6 in the morning and I'm still here
I'm still here
What you read in the paper
Yes I tell you they're lies
Stop looking at me with those vanishing eyes
The gods have spoken and I'm forced to fib it was the night of nights
I went out for a little drink
Met up with an old friend said hello
Goodbye, I got to go
Oh home
Only to find nobody
You're afraid to take a hard look
Let me sell you my story
It's tragic
You think you've figured me out I'm a mess, you still want to stay
Save your tears for later I got something cooking
Let's not delay

Well I know this all looks bad but underneath it all
But your timing couldn't be any better this is my curtain call
Well I know you know my name, that little look you gave gave it away

So behave
I'll be nice
Mother I don't need to be told twice

You better behave
Take a better look at yourself
You better behave
Take a better look at yourself
This is a shame
This is a shame
That I've fallen from grace? [x6]
That I've fallen [x4]

Such a shame [x5]
How far have you fallen?
How far have you fallen?
How far have you?
