Lyrics to Bonus Tracks:

The Movie On Your Eyelids [bonus box set ld edition version]

I always watch you when you’re dreaming,
because I know it’s not of me
I smoke a dozen cancer sticks
And imagine there are two or three ways to make you love me
And I’ll dream of someone else,
become the movie on your eyelids,
The reflection of yourself
The reflection…of yourself

I cry when I listen to you breathing,
because I know there’s nothing else that conjurs up that crushing feeling
To know there’s no connection left,
that we’re both going through the motions,
that we’re both living somewhere else
And the movie on your eyelids,
there’s no reflection of myself
There’s no reflection…of myself
There’s no reflection…of myself

I wanna be, I wanna be your movie
I wanna be, I wanna be your movie

Why can’t you be me?
Why can’t you be me?
Why can’t you be me?
Why can’t you be me?
Be me
Be me
Be me

In A Funk [Japanese album version track available on iTunes]

Call me anticipation, call me out of line
But I’ve got a hotel reservation in the name of ‘Valentine’
In the place where we vacation and we walked across the beach
I felt your breath against my neck, as the waves caressed our feet

Heaven knows if you promise not to go
I will pay you back in kind
I dont want to be alone
Im alive, so alive.

Call me animation, call me assinine
But Im in a desperate situation
With a mask to hide behind
The affect on our relations and all that we believe
Feels like a slap across the face
Now there’s a hand print on your cheek

Heaven knows if you promise not to go
I will pay you back in kind
I dont want to be alone
Im alive, so alive
If you promise not to go
I will pay you back in kind
I dont want to be alone
Im alive, so alive

ahhhh, aaaaaah (backing vocal)

Let me pay you back in kind
ahhhh, aaaaaah

Let me pay you back in kind
ahhhh, aaaaaah

Let me pay you back in kind
ahhhh, aaaaaah

Let me pay you back

Is it my imagination?
Is it the end of the line?
is it a reconcilliation or just a way of killing time?
God only knows, if you promise not to go
I will pay you back in kind
I dont want to be alone
Im alive, so alive
If you promise not to go
I will pay you back in kind
I dont want to be alone
Im alive, so alive

ahhhh, aaaaaah (backing vocal)

Let me pay you back in kind
ahhhh, aaaaaah

Let me pay you back in kind
ahhhh, aaaaaah

Let me pay you back in kind
ahhhh, aaaaaah

Let me pay you back in kind

Unisex [bonus box set ld edition version]

Do me right, by you
and I’ll do you right, by heaven
along the avenues
we run run run run run run for our lives

promise me that we will make it through
promise me that we will make it through

inside we are picasso blue
outisde it’s armageddon
so all that we can do
is run run run run run run for our lives

promise me that we will make it through
promise me that we will make it through
if we don’t I dont know what I’d do
so promise me that we will make it through

don’t worry baby, it’s just the end of the world
don’t worry baby, don’t worry

Do me right, by you
no matter what may happen
forever more and hither hereunto
we run run run run run run run run run run run ruuun

don’t worry baby, it’s just the end of the world
don’t worry baby, this place is broken and absurd

don’t worry baby, it’s just the end of the world
don’t worry baby, don’t worry

Do me right, by you
and I’ll do you right, by heaven
