*grainy photos of away*

the day is rainy, the sights are grainy

hard to believe its already here

bombs dropping in the distance

and war isn't an idea anymore

memories of times of peace

are fading into the distance

horizons of death and sorrow

nearing by the second

please just let it be over soon

i need to see why i'm thinking it over

just thinking it over

you've been gone so long

i'm beginning to miss you

now that i see pictures

you're in every one

please just let it be over soon

i need to see why i'm thinking it over

just thinking it over

many times i've seen the sky

and wondered why it's there

now i look to it and see your face

wondering why you're not here

please just let it be over soon

i need to see why i'm thinking it over

thinking it over

==================================

*Marguerite*

marguerite was a lounge singer from the town of wakefield

everyone knew who marguerite was

marguerite was someone who knew about the loss of love

and who she was

so she wrote a letter to the masses

about how she couldn't live anymore

dear family and friends i dont want to want this to end

but i think its time i leave the floor

i had my chances i had my share of glances

but i missed them now its time i wore

my clothes of secrets lets shut the door

she let them know why she had done the things she had

slept with men she didn't know

made her family feel so bad

the melody of her standards at the club was playing over

the townsfolk wondered it lasted so much longer now

dear family and friends i dont want this to end

but i think its time i leave the floor

i had my chances got my share of glances

but i missed them no its time i wore

my clothes of secrets lets shut the door

maryanne was affected by the sadness marguerite subjected to her

she felt she had been betrayed

by the girl of whom she had played

in the spring play

*brand spanking new*

I've got no good reasons

for making up those lies

I've been a good girl

but mess up from time to time

I've decided to be new

Just like the ones you used to know

who reveled in the spotlight of your eyes

So tell why i'm just a girl in your crazy fucked world

of fairytales

i'm brand spanking new

love is out to get me

i'm not the girl you knew

in those stories you told your friends

i'm partially scary

i'm ordinary

i'm just a girl who loves you

i'm just a girl who needs you

let me be

I've needed a reason

for such a long time

I've seen everything now

I've been a good girl

i don't mess up anymore

can i revel in the spotlight of your eyes?

i'm brand spanking new

love is out to get me

i'm not the girl you knew

in those stories you told your friends

i'm partially scary

i'm ordinary

i'm just a girl who loves you

i'm just a girl who needs you

desperately

why can't you see

all you need is in me

i'm on the verge of breaking

in a world of painstaking lies

brandspanking new

i'm brandspanking new

love is out to get me

i'm not the girl you knew

in those stories you told your friends

i'm partially scary

i'm ordinary

i'm just a girl who loves you

i'm just a girl who needs you

peacefully

*irginia Sweet Virginia*

Home is where my heart is

and my heart's still there

now and then i feel that old feeling

and i think about Virginia

Sweet Virginia, Oh-oh....

Home is where my heart is

though it's quite clear

why i'm here in this lonely old hotel room

i think about Virginia

Sweet Virginia Oh Oh..

You are where my heart is

My hearts still there with you

i try to think of why i'm here

and i fly in my head to you

Sweet Virginia Sweet Virginia

Home is where my heart is

and across this phone line

i can hear the voices and sounds of Virginia

I think about Virginia

Sweet Virginia

Home is where my heart

and my heart's still here

now and then i feel that old feeling

i think about Virginia

You are where my heart is

My hearts still there with you

i try to think of why i'm here

and i fly in my head to you

Sweet Virginia Sweet Virginia
