15 Minutes
You're practicing your autograph for the next time someone asks you
In every photograph is the hope that someone will recognize you
They're all anaesthetized by your aesthetic qualities
Oh! You're so pretty!
And in the flare of now forgetting those who knock you
They're dirty little wannabes.
How did such a big man fit in this small room?
And they're all waiting for their fifteen minutes with you.
Everybody's waiting for you - they can wait a little longer
And everything that's said about you only serves to make you stronger
Each reflection is a chance to reassure yourself you're looking well
How did such a big man fit in this small room?
And they're all waiting for their fifteen minutes of you.
How did such a big man fit in this small room?
And they're all waiting for their fifteen minutes with you.
Their fifteen minutes with you.

Superhero
You're my forgiveness left unsaid
You took the fears inside my head
And laid them on our kitchen table
Nothing to be afraid of.
You're the saviour that I prayed for
So of course there's room here
For you and your white horse.
You're my superman in plain clothes
Your X-ray eyes can read my mind
You already know
Your theme song's always playing on my stereo
You're incognito, Superman in plain clothes
Superhero
You drive me crazy with the way
You come home windblown every day
And tell me how you took the world on.
The bad guys had me in free fall
But just in time you saved me from it all.
You're my superman in plain clothes
Your X-ray eyes can read my mind
You already know
Your theme song's always playing on my stereo
You're incognito, Superman in plain clothes
Superhero

Sugarlust
Touch her as she slowly disappears
Listen as she's silent in your ears
Was it fun?
Was it rich?
Sweet tooth baring candy witch
Feel her in the things they dare not say
Taste her sweetness wash away
Are you careful?
Are you sure?
Do I make you insecure?
Sweet sugar, sweet sugar girl
In a saccharine world
She'll take you on, take you over
Leave you lying where you fell
Sweet sugar, sweet sugar rush
In a hyper lust.
Buzzin' as she flows right through your veins
Hear the way she loves to say your name
She could read, and you were read
Now you've gone and made your bed
You're not so sure that you're to blame
Melting moments ... crashing into days
Sweet sugar, sweet sugar girl
In a saccharine world
She'll take you on, take you over
Leave you lying where you fell
Sweet sugar, sweet sugar rush
In a hyper lust.
She'll take you in, take you under
And you'll drown in Sugarlust.

Pleased to Meet You
You're not always easy to share space with.
Some days you wake up ten times bigger than you are.
I can't get my arms around you
And we are silent worlds apart.
Should I introduce myself?
I'm pleased to meet you
You don't seem to recognise me
But you know you look just like someone
That I used to know.
I'm pleased to meet you
You know I think you used to love me
But now it seems like that was a whole lifetime ago.
If you don't look at me do I disappear?
And all you say these days are things that I don't wanna hear.
I don't think that you remember (I don't think that you recall)
It was always you and me against the world.
But I'll introduce myself
I'm pleased to meet you
You don't seem to recognise me
But you know you look just like someone
That I used to know.
I'm pleased to meet you
You know I think you used to love me
But now it seems like that was a whole lifetime ago.
So I guess I'll see you round sometime
And one day you might
Think we've met before
You'll turn to me and say,
I'm pleased to meet you
You don't seem to recognise me
But you know you look just like someone
That I used to know.....
I'm pleased to meet you
You know I think you used to love me
But now it seems like that was a whole lifetime ago.

Tell me a secret
I see you hanging on
By a worn-out bootlace
In a cool shade of blue
From all the images you chase
I know a game that you might like to play
I will pull this thread
And then just walk away
Watch it come undone
Hey don't you think that sounds fun?
Tell me a secret
I'll keep it like it's mine
If you're in need of confession
You can call me any time
I think you're holding out
Holding your breath and waiting
To feel something more than anticipating
You might like it and start begging me to stay
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
I won't tell anyone
Hey don't you think that sounds fun?
Tell me a secret
I'll keep it like it's mine
If you're in need of confession
You can call me any time
You hope and pray
You sit and wait
For someone to save you from yourself
I'll be the one
You can come clean to
And I promise I won't tell
(Promise I won't tell)
And I'll save you from yourself
Tell me a secret
I'll keep it like it's mine
If you're in need of confession
You can call me any time
