Friends and Company - Melanie

Too much singing for my living tonight

Do a song for friends and company

Too much is the matter with giving on spite

Here’s one for the giving and the other for free

The straw that broke the camel’s back

Is blown upon my window sill

I may look beaten but I don’t look back

When you break my heart

You feed my will

This should be an instrumental

But it seems I’ve made up words

Though they have a way of getting in the way

What a way to be absurd

It’s a way of being heard

Too much is the matter with giving on spite

Here’s one for the giving and the other for free

Too much time for resting easy

Not enough to sleep all night

In the shooting star I take the dreaming weighs me down

The doctor’s right, is the doctor ever right

Oh god I need to swallow you whole again

I’ve gotta mend the old soul again all I need is some inner peace

Oh god I need to swallow you whole again

I’ve gotta mend the old soul again all I need is some inner peace

Oh god I need to swallow you whole again

I’ve gotta mend the old soul again all I need is some inner peace

Give the soul a way to fly… sooth the eyes of memory

Let’s give it all for an answer why

If you reach the heaven the spirit’s on me

Too much singing for my living tonight

Do a song for friends and company

Too much is the matter with giving on spite

Here’s one for the giving and the other for free
