TOO LATE FOR LOVE

©Anne McCue 2008 Milkman's Daughter Music ASCAP-APRA Admin. by BugMusic

Everybody said, don't be that girl

Don't be the one who goes too far

Just play it straight, don't make a fool of everyone

Just play it cool

But it's too late for love to save me

It's too late for me to save you baby

I'm not waiting for the law to take me

It's too late

The policeman says, put that thing down

Don't mess around, don't take the world on

You'll regret what you have done

And what you'll become

But I cannot stop

Now it's too late for love to save me

It's too late for me to save you baby

And everybody says I'm crazy

It's too late for love to save me

ALL I NEED (DON'T TRY)

©A.McCue/T. Kerr 2008 Milkman's Daughter Music ASCAP-APRA/Doreen Music ASCAP Admin. by BugMusic

I've been happy in this house

Wasn't looking for a home

I like sleeping on the couch

After drinking on my own

So don't try

I've got all I need to get by

I've got all I need

Don't go whispering to me

About how love will set us free

And take your pretty hand off mine

Save your kisses, save your time

And don't try

I've got all I need to get by

I've got all I need

And if you're coming here for love

You're wasting time

Don't go hangin' 'round love's door

It'll hurt you to the core

It'll cheat you till your poor

When you're leaving please be quiet

Let me sleep on through the night

And those precious words we spoke

Come to nothing when you're broken

So don't try

I've got all I need to get by

I've got all I need to get high

I've got all I need

LOVE'S NOT PASSING US BY

©Anne McCue 2008 Milkman's Daughter Music ASCAP-APRA Admin. by BugMusic

4 a.m. bar stools in

Count your money

The cold air stings

Morning feels just right

And we've stayed up all night again

A little rain, a little smoke

Follow the tram lines to the coast

On the beach you look so Irish

As the sun comes up behind you

I don't want to claim you

I don't want to change you

But we're so far from home

I hate to leave you alone

Let the morning air sigh

Love's not passing us by

Sydney's calling but that's not where I want to be

The melbourne autumn

I guess that's what I want to see

And I'm running down canning Street

I'm running down your street

I don't want to claim you

I don't want to change you

But we're so far from home

I hate to leave you alone

Let the morning air sigh

Love's not passing us by

WE ARE THE SAME

©A. McCue/W.Courtney 2008 Milkman's Daughter Music ASCAP-APRA/BMI Admin. by BugMusic

Take me down to your darkest deep

Let me see all those secrets you keep

Please me, let me walk upon your stage

Open the door, let me get inside your cage

'Cause love only burns you

If you set it aflame

I'm looking at you

I can tell we are the same

Yeah love only hurts you

If you call it a game

I've met you before

I can tell we are the same

Put down all those weapons you keep

Call off the dogs

Let it be just you and me

I think, I think I know who you are

First there was love

Then that wound became a scar

But love only burns you

If you set it aflame

I'm looking at you

I can tell we are the same

Yeah love only hurts you

If you call it a game

I've met you before

I can tell we are the same

It's coming to this - I'm coming to find you

Don't push me away

It's coming to that - I'm coming to love you

Don't force me back

MONEY IN THE MORNING

©Anne McCue 2008 Milkman's Daughter Music ASCAP-APRA Admin. by BugMusic

Everyday, thinking about the war

It won't go away, it's a comforting feeling

For the men who build machines and guns and bombs

I guess they love the smell of money in the morning

Money in the morning

Every time I see his face again

I see the worry lines

He's got an empty feeling

See the water rise

And ice falls in the sea

There's a hole in the sky

But there'll be money in the morning

Money in the morning

Every time I see your face again

I wonder where we'll be

I've got a scary feeling

I'm feeling so alone

When you're here with me

Will we make it home?

Will there be money in the morning?

Money in the morning

BEAUTIFUL THING

©Anne McCue 2008 Milkman's Daughter Music ASCAP-APRA Admin. by BugMusic

Are you lonely tonight?

Does the dark take your hope?

Yes, you're lonesome tonight

A siren screams through your soul

It's a beautiful thing if you know who you are

Just to know who you are

It's a beautiful thing if you know who you are

Just to know who you are

Are you forsaken tonight?

Left alone there to plead

You're like a convict tonight

Praying for a reprieve

It's a beautiful thing if you know who you are

Just to know who you are

It's a beautiful thing if you know who you are

Just to know who you are

An old black dress

A blood red glove

You're a cold hearted woman no man could ever love

There's no sanctity here, no reality here

Just the light creeping in through the curtains

The pale blue moon, it reminds you of lust

So you crawl through the rooms

Where love was won and lost

There's no certainty here, no divinity here

Just the flame dying out from the fire

It's a beautiful thing if you know who you are

Just to know who you are

It's a beautiful thing if you know who you are

Just to know who you are

DO IT THE RIGHT WAY

Well I'm sorely tempted to let this whole thing go

I could steal away tonight, no-one would know

But I'll do it the right way

I'm gonna end it the right way

But I'll do it the right way

I'm gonna end it the right way

I could lie to you and you would never see

pretend that I'm the lover that you need

But I'll do it the right way

I'm gonna end it the right way

We can't go back

It's a long, long way

And it's too late

Too late to stay

But I'll do it the right way

I'm gonna end it the right way

STRAIGHT TO THE HEART

Aah

You cut straight to the heart of me

You whispered, you moaned

You got straight to the heart of me

Aah

You cut straight to the heart of me

You kissed me so slow

You got straight to the heart of me

Aah

You cut straight to the heart of me

You found me in time

You got straight to the heart of me

SAY BYE BYE

Ever since I left you there's a new look in you eyes

No more need for telling lies

Someone else can hear your sighs

I wouldn't come between you

I wouldn't even try

I can tell when something's over

Say bye bye

I can wait, I'll let the sun go down

I can wait I'll let that sun go down

Never thought I'd miss you but I guess I always do

There's nobody quite like you

Who can make me feel this blue

Do I miss the way you made me feel like I was second class

Well I'd surely be an ass if that was true

I can wait, I'll let the sun go down

I can wait I'll let that sun go down

Ever since I left you there's a new joy in your eyes

I got so sick of alibis, saving face and fake blue skies

I wouldn't come between you

I wouldn't even try

I can tell when something's over,

Say bye bye

I can tell when something's over,

Say bye bye

EAST OF ELECTRIC

In the cold air of the morning I walked along your street

Blue acacia, yellow lily - Oh love could be so sweet

It felt like losing when you're winning

It felt like everything would go away
