Hopefulness To Hopelessness

Album: Sounds From The Gulf Stream [1999]

I still want to have a chart hit 

Go to pop parties 

I still want to go to Paris in the spring 

I still want to get my hair cut 

Just like Jean Seberg 

 

I still want to shout and scream, say what I mean 

 

Mid: A million, reasons for, wanting to, carry on living to achieve 

A million, things I am, unlikely ever to carry out 

But I like the make-believe 

 

I still want to have a garden 

With flowers not mud in 

I still want to learn the art of being rude 

I still want to hear you end 

Your  half-finished pop songs 

I still want to be who I am, but be it with you 

  

Repeat Mid 

 

Chorus: Hopefulness to hopelessness is not very far I suppose 

Hopefulness to hopelessness is not very far but don't go 

never blur the line 

 

I still want to have nice straight legs 

That look nice in kecks 

I still want to do what i can without being told 

I still want to hear you throwing stones at my window

I still want somebody who will watch me grow old 

 

Repeat Mid and Chorus (x2)
