Dead From The Heart Down

She didn't say a word, she said it all with a sigh
till I remembered when we caught out luck with a lie
Was a confusing time could never make up our minds
now we don't talk no more, we're leading different lives
I had to find a way to say goodbye for the very first time
I waited in the place where you told me to be (dead from the heart down)
I waited there all night, I was too drunk to see (dead from the heart down)
your Medusa eyes, I turned into stone (dead from the heart down)
I couldn't walk no more, I had to stand there alone
I never should have listened to compromised friends, they always win in the end
We can try if you like to put it all behind us tonight
Every once in a while we'll reach the four corners of love
If it's too steep to climb oh maybe baby we could fly
Oh I try, I can't help it that the beat went out
There used to be a time when you needed to dance (dead from the heart down)
and send me back to school without a second chance (dead from the heart down)
Every line you wear it deepens by the years (dead from the heart down)
A disposable heart turns to paranoid fears
I had to find a way say goodbye for the very last time
We can try if you like to put it all behind us tonight
Every once in a while we'll reach the four corners of love
If it's too steep to climb oh maybe baby we could fly
Oh I try, I can't help it that the beat went out
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
Dead from the heart down
(she's my flatline girl)

Secret Secrets

When your love is all you have it's all you see
so you fall at every opportunity
I know you wanna sing
I know you wanna tell me what's been on your mind
and the secret secrets that you're keeping
Time away from friends is all you really need
but you're talking like the fun is guaranteed
I know you wanna sing
I know you wanna let it all come out inside
the secret secrets that you're keeping
The secrets of love
Walk away with everything except what you need
and a mouth so dry the words they start to bleed
I know you wanna sing
I know you wanna share the pain that hides behind
the secret secrets that you're keeping
The secrets of love

Shoulda Known

Last of the first to know, last of the first to find out,
last of the first to know
Last of the first to know, last of the first to find out,
last of the first to know
Good things don't come to those who wait
She didn't even try, won't look me in the eye
Just turned away and said "too late"
Coincidence is pain, my ego's not to blame
but I shoulda known shoulda known
I shoulda known shoulda known
I shoulda known better than to do it again
I shoulda known better than to try it again
Impatient hearts can hardly wait to break in two tonight, to never reunite
Sometimes you can't anticipate
All the mistakes I made
She held the sharpest blade
and I shoulda known shoulda known
I shoulda known shoulda known
I shoulda known better than to do it again
I shoulda known better than to try it again
The last of the first to know
The last of the first to find out
The last of the first to know
I shoulda known shoulda known
I shoulda known shoulda known
I shoulda known better than to do it again
I shoulda known better than to try it again

A Drop In The Ocean

I was the one who tried to find a little common ground
You were the one who tried to find another way around
But I was there for you when you were off the rails
and I'll be there for you when everything else fails
I get afraid it's true incase the words don't come to mind
I can't explain to you the things I couldn't leave behind
But I was there for you when you went off the rails
and I'll be there for you when everything else fails
I took a hand in glove again but it's all over now
I never saw above the clouds until you showed me how
But I was there for you when you went off the rails
and I'll be there for you when everything else fails
I was there for you when
I was there for you when I turned around and I saw all the walls and the lies come tumbling down
Oh but I'll still be there when everything else fails

Kiss Me Goodbye

I see you in the corner, I shouldn't stay
but I know my mind's made up and I just can't keep away
Breathe deep and dive in, I know the price I'll pay
but I'm past the point of no return now anyway
Kiss me goodbye cos I'm tired & reckless
Kiss me goodbye cos I'm tired & reckless
The same old story it'll bring me down
but if I look for someone to blame there's no one else to be found
Mind spinning faster and faster, lost sense of time
But I'm never gonna win so I'm going all in
I gotta spin that wheel one more time
Kiss me goodbye cos I'm tired & reckless
Kiss me goodbye cos I'm tired & reckless
And I know I've got a lot to learn, and I know I've got a lot to learn
and I know I've got a lot to learn from you
Tell myself never again, tell myself over and over again
Will it be the end for me this time?
Kiss me goodbye cos I'm tired & reckless
Kiss me goodbye cos I'm tired & reckless
This could be the last time

Strange Love

Strange love
I wonder why, I wonder why it's..
If one day you should think about her and remember things about her don't forget to say because one day you will talk about her and tell all your friends about her so be careful what you say
If one day you should sing about her in songs you wrote about her you'll take them to the grave with all of this
Strange love
I wonder why, I wonder why it's strange love
If one day you should ever find her tell her goodbye and remind her I'm to blame
If one day you should think about the stars that I named after, the stars that have the names of a friend of a friend without this
Strange love
I wonder why, I wonder why it's strange love
I never should have walked away
You never should have walked away
If one day you should think about her
Strange love
I wonder why, I wonder why it's strange love
She made strange love until the end

I cover up my hand
count the stops above her head
Somewhere in her eyes isn't what she said
Feeling so loose, take a drink outside and light up a fuse
Will you ever fall in love again?
A photograph of you is all that it takes to make my nervous system shake
A photograph of you is all that it takes to make my nervous system shake
I cover up my hand
count the stops above her head
Somewhere in her eyes isn't what she said
A fire down below and a party inside somewhere in between
I hope you never fall in love again
A photograph of you is all that it takes to make my nervous system shake
A photograph of you is all that it takes to make my nervous system shake

Talk Of The Town

Take me back to the scene of the crime when you walked into the room
don't believe me if I tell you "don't worry, I'll forget about it soon"
Whatever happened to love and understanding?
I'll never live this down, talk of the town
I fell back into all the bad habits, no one could disagree
I remember when the world was better, better off eventually
Whatever happened to love and understanding?
I'll never live this down, talk of the town
When you're the talk of the town, you're the talk of the town

I don't remember much, I can't remember much
I don't recall your name
I lost a little of the hope I counted on
I wait for you to explain why our feelings are about the same in..
a song called Jayne and a lie called love
a song called Jayne and a lie called love
I built it up inside, the engine paralysed
we drove despite the rain
Condition's still unclear, it's been around a year
I wait for you to explain how we've broken down on lovers lane in..
a song called Jayne and a lie called love
a song called Jayne and a lie called love
With all the feeling you have you throw it all back
With every turn of the screw you know what to do
You do it just to keep me down
To get me off the hook I sent a comic book to a girl in Spain
she didn't understand the references at hand
I'll wait for you to explain about Superman and Lois Lane and..
a song called Jayne and a lie called love
a song called Jayne and a lie called love

I said goodbye to my best friend
she said something had to give
I said goodbye to my best friend
she said a new life is there in the real world and I just have to let you go
I said goodnight to my best friend
she said the fun is over now
I said goodnight to my best friend
she said turn around and don't keep looking back 'cos I don't live there any more
It's time this time
I said goodbye to my best friend
she said I won't forget a thing
I said goodbye to my best friend
she said in dreams we can still be in love again but now the song has got to end
"I was trying to find something different to say each time but it wasn't easy because she made things so fucking difficult. Nothing made any sense and I'd think what's the point to all this? ..and once it goes there there's only so much you can do"
Monday was the start of the stars for you
and only you

I don't wanna know what you did that night
Now all I know is that I need you out of my life
Always been something wrong
Always been something wrong
Always been something wrong
Summer's over now & I'm gonna be alright this time
I always knew that we'd run out of time
and I keep trying to warn you but you don't believe me
Always been something wrong
Always been something wrong
Always been something wrong
Summer's over now & I'm gonna be alright this time
"El verano se acabo"
Don't really care what you do no more
Always been something wrong
Always been something wrong
Always been something wrong
Summer's over now & I'm gonna be alright this time

Tears from my eyes, you turn away and say goodbye
Did you get from me what you needed to?
Please tell me why we just can't talk like we used to?
You never hear my point of view
Taken, taken me from you
it's breaking, I know it hurts you too
but I can't get through to you at all
Time passes by and time can start to heal the wounds
I see inside it hurt you too
Now I know why love comes and breaks up all the rules
I see how life can be so cruel
Taken, taken me from you
it's breaking, I know it hurts you too
but I can't get through to you at all
I can't get through, I can't get through, I can't get through
I can't get through at all
Taken, taken me from you
it's breaking, I know it hurts you too
but now there's nothing left for us to do

Wrong Place Wrong Time
04:06

Used to think we belonged but then we were always on the outside
shouting above the crowd until we realised there was no one listening
Used to laugh so hard, up against the world caught up in the romance
and we felt so invincible till it broke us in the end
Wrong place wrong time
Why did you have to run?
you weren't the only one
wrong place wrong time
I'll never understand why
and though you try to hide I know it hurts your pride
but now it's gone too far
Was it always so hard? Did we just lose faith in ourselves at the wrong time?
Did we think we deserved it all?
When the walls went up was it too high to climb?
We could say that we tried, maybe next time we'd have luck on our side
Are we kidding ourselves again? we were never built to last
wrong place wrong time
Why did you have to run?
you weren't the only one
wrong place wrong time
and now I understand why
and though you try to hide I know it hurts your pride
but now it's gone too far
wrong place wrong time
Why did you have to run?
you weren't the only one
wrong place wrong time
and now I understand why
and though you try to hide I know it hurts your pride
but now it's gone too far
wrong place wrong time
Just like us to make it so hard

First Impression

Wow! A time machine back to 1980 with killer pop hooks and lyrics about girls and relationships and all that stuff that power pop is about. I bought the album and The Reflectors sent me an additional CD, that I guess is the first record, along with a sticker and button. Thanks guys! Amazing Power Pop!

I know it's an obscure reference, but the singer reminds me of Anneke van Giersbergen from the Gathering. The singer of Romero is a highlight of the band's sound, and the power-pop tunes are driven by her. Looking forward to future releases of this band.
