Let Down My Guard

Sounds like - Dusty Springfield Nothing Has Been Proved

Let's talk about the mirror and the cane
Don't act all shy
It's out in the open now
I didn't know that was the way to get your attention
Maybe I should control the whip

[Bridge]
Was all the sympathy that you showed
Just another tissue to cover your own insecurities
We can all assume a role and hide behind a mask
Is that you?

[Chorus]
Because you made me let down my guard
You made me give it all away
I know nothing has been proved
But you left me feeling so frustrated
So vulnerable and naked
Cos made me let down my guard

Have you seen the headlines from yesterday
No front page today
Maybe the press have had their pound
You made page three
Maybe there are better things to do

[Bridge]
Was all the sympathy that you showed
Just another tissue to cover your own insecurities
We can all assume a role and hide behind a mask
Is that you?

[Chorus]
Because you made me let down my guard
You made me give it all away
I know nothing has been proved
But you left me feeling so frustrated
So vulnerable and naked
Cos you made me let down my guard

All I see is a sea of guilty faces
Staring back from the mirrored wall
*** Even you are looking worried now ***
Have they all flown away to barcelona
Whilst were living on expensive sins
I resign this mask it hurts too much

[Middle 8]
Where is she hiding, do you even know?
You don't owe me anything
Only that you show yourself the truth
Could it be you've fallen out with your face
Now all your friends have fled

[Bridge]
Was all the sympathy that you showed (Guilty faces)
Just another tissue to cover your own insecurities
We can all assume a role and hide behind a mask (No front page headlines)
Is that you? (The mirror and the cane)

[Chorus]
You made me let down my guard
You made me give it all away
I know nothing has been proved
But you left me feeling so frustrated
So vulnerable and naked
Cos you made me let down my guard

[Bridge]
Was all the sympathy that you showed
Just another tissue to cover your own insecurities
We can all assume a role and hide behind a mask
Is that you?

[Chorus]
Because you made me let down my guard
You made me give it all away
I know nothing has been proved
But you left me feeling so frustrated
So vulnerable and naked
Cos you made me let down my guard

[Repeat chorus to fade]

Taste It Twice
(Sounds like - Jamiroquai - Feels Just Like It Should)

Here comes the ice cream smile
To melt the hearts of the fuzz
You best hope it works this time

As you've got no answers to fire
Cos you're blinded by the lights
All you want is a cheap fix

You don't understand the danger (of this situation)
How can you when
You've only tasted it once
Go away and get some experience
So you can taste it twice
Then you can get the best of both worlds

So you miss judged the jump
Now the fall is too fast
Take a little cherry stone
And feel a little bittersweet good

So take me for the first time
But leave a litle for the next time
Thicken the skin for the next round
If you survive that long

You don't understand the danger (of this situation)
How can you when
You've only tasted it once
Go away and get some experience
So you can taste it twice
Then you can get the best of both worlds
