Make this your home

[DontWantNever]

I love this song and its I tried but you wouldnt let it work theme

here's my stab at the lyrics challenges are welcome..........but dont hear any bacon or embecillic

PS It's is without a doubt PW NOT tommy singing

You came to live with me
The rent is cheap that way
Gave you all my space
You close my closets

The torn up photographs
Of girls I never knew
Got you wishing I’d
grow up and marry you

Tried to make this your home

Boxes in a storage space
And room for all your things
One day you’ll be upset
You’ll get a bigger place


Let you wear my robe
You didn’t like the smell
Gave away my bed
There’s nothing wrong with it

Tried to make this your home
Yes I tried to make this your home

Something’s got to give
And I can’t throw it all away
There’s some memories I’d like to keep
And some things I can’t change

Tried to make this your home
Yes I tried to make this your home
Yes I tried to make this your home
Yes I tried to make this your home

Take it come on
Make it your home

Tear this heart of mine
You can have it if you like
Take it all

Take it all

Here's what I heard, what is different from what you have:

"Gave you all my space, you chose my closets"

I heard "try" versus "tried" in the choruses. It works either way, but "try" iin the present tense still leaves some hope for the situation versus "tried" which insinuates it's already over. Very interesting.

"One day you'll feel safe, we'll get a bigger place"

You helped me out on the line "Tear this heart of mine", I was stumped on that one.

I agree, another great song.

Thnaks for the correction..however I think the whole song is kinda a past tense last ditch effort from the male protagonist to the fermale as if he were saying, "I've done everything , but you wont allow things to change" Gonna try to work on Learn How to Fail wanna help on that one

[Schmoo]

Here's what I got from Learn How To Fail. My copy isn't the best quality and Paul slurs a little, so there are some spots here that I'm sure aren't correct, but it's the best I could do. I'll be interested to see what you have.
At any rate, you've made me get out my copy of "Vomit", and for that I thank you.

Sand without a pail
In a box with your hands in the well
Little toes and colds
Soon it won’t be long
Don’t worry what you’re told
That’s my loss
No Easter Bunny and no Santa Claus
First you must learn how to fail
Before you’re allowed to do anything real
First you must learn how to fail

You’re growing up much too fast
Soon you’ll be dating
Boys that laughed at you
Pulling pigtails
Whatever they’ll be wearing
You’ll pretend you’re on the rail
Sand without a pail
Playing with me until I’m too deceived
First you must learn how to fail
Before you’re allowed to do anything real
First you must learn how to fail
Before you’re allowed to do anything real

First you must learn how to fail
Before they will let you do anything real
First you must learn how to fail
Before you’re allowed to do anything real
In time now
First you must learn how to fail
How to fail
How to fail
Don’t worry baby, you’ll do just fine
Don’t worry baby, everything’s fine
