LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IF I WERE GOING/THE AFGHAN WHIGS

What should I tell her?
She's going to ask
If I ignore it
It gets uncomfortable
She'll want to argue about the past
Still I think she believes me
Every word I say
I think I'm starting to believe it all myself
Go ask the gentlemen who play it
But hate to pay

And it don't bleed and it don't breathe
It's locked its jaws and now it's swallowing
It's in our heart
It's in our heads
It's in our love
Baby, it's in our bed

It holds my arms down
Sits upon my chest
It waves its finger at me every night and day
And it don't rest

And it don't breathe and it don't bleed
It's locked its jaws and now it's swallowing
It's all a lie
It's nearly dead
It's in our hope
Baby, it's in our bed

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HONKY'S LADDER/THE AFGHAN WHIGS

Got you where I want you, motherfucker
I got five up on your dime
And if you wanna peep on something
Peep what I got stuck between your eyes
And since I don't believe a word you say
Save it for another baby brother
Swallow time to pay

Up on the ladder they sing how high?
Does a brother have to climb to touch the light
But wait 'till I get done with you
If you tell me
Don't get mixed up with the devil
That's exactly what I'm gonna do

Caught you while you waited
For your boy to come
And fix you up again
Come a little closer baby
I only wanna try to be your friend

Since I ain't got nothing left to lose
Got you where I want you
Motherfucker don't you try to move


Up on the ladder they sing how high?
Does a brother have to climb to touch the light
Won't you take me up there with you?
You said you would
No one ever could shake that ladder like I could

So I wait
And I wait
And I wait
And I wait

Up on the ladder they sing how high?
Does a brother have to climb to touch the light
Won't you take me up there with you?
You said you would
No one ever could shake that ladder like I could

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DEBONAIR/THE AFGHAN WHIGS

Hear me now and don't forget
I'm not the man my actions would suggest
A little boy, I'm tied to you
I fell apart
That's what I always do

This ain't about regret
My conscience can't be found
This time I won't repent
Somebody's going down

Feel it now and don't resist
This time the anger's better than the kiss
I must admit when so inclined
I tend to lose it than confront my mind

Cause it don't bleed and it don't breathe
It's locked its jaws and now it's swallowing
It's in our heart
It's in our head
It's in our love
Baby it's in our bed

Tonight I go to hell
For what I've done to you
This ain't about regret
It's when I tell the truth

And once again the monster speaks
Reveals his face and searches for release
A little boy is tied to you
Attracted only 'til it comes unglued

Cause it don't bleed and it don't breathe
It's locked its jaws and now it's swallowing
It's in our heart
It's in our head
It's in our love
Baby it's in our bed

Tonight I go to hell
For what I've done to you
This ain't about regret
It's when I tell the truth
Tonight I go to hell
For what I've done to you
This ain't about regret
