what the butler didn't see - lyrics by cold comfort wk043 VERSE 1: In Hargrave House there was murder vile and gruesome the crime was described In Hargrave House there served a butler A murderous type in looks, but not in mind. CHORUS: What the butler didn't see as he slept a drunken dream put him in hell for life trapped in a prison cell. Forever locked behind a maze of prison doors What the butler didn't see As he slept in drunken peace was the key to this bloody murder mystery. V2: In Hargrave House there was a master who kept a lover, so it's said In Hargrave House there was a mistress, cold as ice, but now both are dead. CHORUS: (see above) What the butler didn't see as he slept a drunken dream put him in hell for life trapped in a prison cell. V3: In Hargrave House, there was murder 2 people died that frightful night In Hargrave house there served a butler And a scrubbing maid saved a frightful life by a blissful drunken sleep that dark and frightful night... CHORUS: (see above) What the butler didn't see as he slept a drunken dream put him in hell for life trapped in a prison cell. copyright Cold Comfort Music (wk043)

lyrics Is this what I've been waiting for? by cold comfort V1: (vamp) Here it is, it's 3AM Here we are Right at your door a fumbled handshake a kiss on the cheek sweet anticipation and nothing more for me? Poor old miserable? heart on my sleeve? I know you're convinced of just what motivates me tonight and last night and the night before that back to January. CHORUS: No one walks anyone home any more The deals are all made in advance NO one walks anyone back to their door but you insist, my old fashioned friend V2 (vamp) Show me the door smile at the gate The first train home doesn't leave until 8. (Instrumental solo) CHORUS: No one sleeps at train stations anymore No one with lipstick on their cheek. Sensible sleeping arangements are made in advance But you insist my old fashioned well intentioned friend. BRIDGE: And if we were just hasty? And if we eschewed (screwed) anticipation? And the people at the station didn't know me, by my first name? And if we traded places Would you have the patience Would I be so sure That you'd come back? To re-enact This scene we've played 207 times before? Is that what I've waiting for? V3: (vamp) Here it is. It's 2.15 Don't matter where we've been or the movie we've just seen because in between The cafe and your door I thought that I would finally ask that you let me in because I wasn't sure if that's just what you were waiting for. CHORUS (altered, repeat and fade) : And you were, my sweet lover, and you were That's just what both of us were waiting for For me to ask politely if you'd take me though your door For you to say, of course, what the hell have you been waiting for... And you were, my sweet lover, and you were That's just what both of us were waiting for For me to ask politely if you'd let me though your door And even if you'd only let me sleep upon your floor I'd be home, my sweet lover I'd be home, finally I'd be home and always with you I'd be home And you were, my sweet lover, and you were That's just what both of us were waiting for For me to ask politely if you'd take me though your door For you to say, of course, what the hell have you been waiting for... And you were, my sweet lover, and you were That's just what both of us were waiting for For me to ask politely if you'd let me though your door And even if you'd only let me sleep upon your floor copyright 2011 cold comfort music (wk015) credits
