Lyrics


1. MAKE ME STAY A BIT LONGER

When you look at me tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Do you hear my words, or do they go straight through you?

We get it together now and then
But I can feel we won't again
Still I can't stop this endless strain of you
Listen to my words and talk the sadness that I bring you
I'll leave you today, 'cos I am nothing to you

Oh-oh make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
Make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone

When you look at me tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Do you hear my words, or do they go straight through you?

Oh-oh make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
Make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone


2. AUNTIE NELLIE

Sitting here with Auntie Nelly, she is so alone
Talking idly, she's in no hurry, I wish I could go
But how could I just say Goodbye,
There's no-one who she knows

No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no

She's getting old and weary, oh it's such a shame
'Cos she's been good to everyone but now they don't know her name

No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no

Sitting here with Auntie Nelly, she is so alone
Talking idly, she's in no hurry, I wish I could go
But how could I just say Goodbye,
There's no-one who she knows

No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
She's so alone, she'd die if I should go
No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
She's so alone...
