Can't find the lyrics anywhere, but if she were to sing anything to a lover, it might be this:

And perhaps if she let a little hope in, she might sing this one:

Sometimes you just gotta sing the blues.

The Real Tuesday Weld - Save Me

For a girl of my age I haven't got much to show for my sins A blood stained smile A gunshot eye And a kiss like a dirty child

But you can save me Any time But you can save me Any time

I retreat into myself For a week or maybe more I do these things that you and I deplore I can't be trusted with my friends and I sure Can't be trusted with myself anymore

But you can save me Any time Yeah you can save me Any time

Who's the kid" Who's the mother" We're all as lost as each other Who's a killer"Who's a lover" I can't tell the one from the other

But you can save me Any time Yeah you can save me Any time Yeah you can save me Any time

You're Going to Live

The Real Tuesday Weld

Gone are the days of pretense and hiding Telling your friends you're just spending time alone. Gone all the crazy self denying - They call it blood but it tastes like silicone

I guess you loved them if you say you did But you'll be hated all your life for this So let's be done with the tragic shit You thought you were dead Now you're going to live

You're gonna live You're gonna live You're gonna live

You'll wake in the night Start up the car Forget who you were You'll never be happier

I'll make us a place In the dust and static Pray to the gods They won't take you back again

All your days will be Safe while you're with me You've got to believe You're going to live

Like Veronica Lake in a New York diner It may have been the sound of a stranger saying your name Like CF Kane at the end of the line you Woke from a dream to a world all re-arranged

Now we'll plant your name like a spike in the ground Raise your flag all over town You thought you'd been lost but now you're found So grab your things 'cause You're going to live

All your days will be Safe while you're with me You're going to live

Jitterbug Boy; Tom Waits

Well I'm a jitterbug boy by the shoe-shine resting on my laurels and my Hardy's too life of Riley on the swing shift girls follow my drift once upon a time I was in show biz too

I seen the Brooklyn Dodgers playin at Ebbets Field seen the Kentucky Derby too It's fast women, slow horses, I'm reliable sources and I'm holding up a lamp post if you want to know

I' seen the Wabash Cannonball buddy, I've done it all

because I slept with the lions and Marilyn Monroe had breakfast in the eye of a hurricane fought Rocky Marciano played Minnesota Fats Burned hundred dollar bills

I eaten Mulligan stew Got drunk with Louis Armstrong what?s that old song I taught Mickey Mantle everything he knows

and so you'll ask me what I'm doin here holdin up a lamp-post flippin this quarter trying to make up my mind and if it's heads I'll go to Tennessee, and tails I'll buy a drink If it lands on the edge I'll keep talkin to you.

...it's bound to be dark.



(I Always Kill) The Things I Love

I love the chase, 'til the minute I win it A beautiful face 'til there's love for me in it Give me your heart and baby I'll bin it 'cause I always kill the things I love

Some folk would die to save one another Lay down their lives for their sisters and brothers For me sacrifice is something quite other 'cause I always kill the things I love

The look in your eyes will turn to surprise As you feel the pain and you realize The one hurting you is somebody who Said "I love you?

Somebody we'll pay back all we've borrowed What we loved today we'll lose tomorrow But I won't need to wait for my share of sorrow Because I always kill the things I love

But I won't need to wait for my share of sorrow Because I already killed the things I love.

I can be clever, I can be clever I can charm your pants off, I can be clever I can be funny, I can make you laugh I can amuse you, I can make you laugh

I can be tender or I can be dirty I can make you feel like you rule the world I could be patient, I can be kind I know how to listen or look like I am

I can be trusted, I can be kind As far as you can throw me, I can be trusted I can be blue, I can get real depressed I can stay all day in my bed

I can get anxious, I can get anxious When I think of you, I just get anxious I can get angry, I can get angry

I can smash your windshield, I can get angry I can't wait to be in your arms again 'Cause I always think this could be the last time When you dig deep and you see more and you get bored

I could be sorry, I could be sorry About your windshield I could be sorry And I could be clever, I can be clever I can charm your pants off, I can be clever.

(Lyrics genderfied) "I Wish I Had An Evil Twin"

I wish I had an evil twin running 'round doing people in I wish I had a very bad and evil twin to do my will to cull and conquer, cut and kill just like I would if I weren't good and if I knew where to begin

down and down we go how low no one would know sometimes the good life wears thin I wish I had an evil twin

my evil twin would lie and steal and she would stink of sex appeal women would writhe beneath her scythe she'd send the pretty ones to me and they would think that I was she I'd hurt them and I'd go scot free

I'd get no blame and feel no shame 'cause evil's not my cup of tea

down and down we go how low one would not need to know all my life there should have been an evil twin

The Ghosts

The Real Tuesday Weld

The ghosts of your past fall in beside you as you walk down the strand and into the square somebody calls you you ignore the question it's the girl in the red dress you murdered in spring

turning the page for the ghosts of tomorrow the friendless and weak leave their blood on your hands burning with rage swimming in sorrow you won't be alone for your ghosts will be there

look down from a great height at the figure below you then into the distance of a world unaware touching the light with the flesh and the bonemeal folding their skin combing their hair

turning the page for the ghosts of tomorrow the friendless and weak leave their blood on your hands burning with rage swimming in sorrow you won't be alone for your ghosts will be there you won't leave alone for your ghosts will be there

And to listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcD7qkUvbSM
