Change My Needs

I never meant to say you were a thorn in either side,

It was a side effect from the scars on the fourty-fives.

And as the vital mistakes, it reminds me of what we have,

Despite the things you do, you know I'm a fool for you.

They say a legal kiss is not as good as a stolen one,

We put our lives on show and yet we sing to a different song.

And from the bassinet to the graveside we never walk,

Of everything I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

I never once understood your dealings,

A group of friends who I'd give what for.

And I could name every crack on our ceiling,

A sight of thorns.

Am I a frame in your bigger picture?

A rope or rein for your stormy seas?

If I could be just a train fare richer

I'd change my needs

I'd change my needs

I'd change my needs

I'd change my needs

And in the half light a rush of violence is in the place,

And if a look could kill you'd need a licence for your face.

You say that love is blind and I'm the one who restored your sight.

The girl who never knows,

I'm the girl who never knows

I never once understood your dealings,

A group of friends who I'd give what for.

And I could name every crack on our ceiling,

A sight of thorns.

Am I a frame in your bigger picture?

A rope or rein for your stormy seas?

If I could be just a train fare richer

I'd change my needs

I'd change my needs

I'd change my needs

I'd change my needs

I'd change my needs
