If you tell me you’re a cover girl
I better buy the magazine
You look like you come from another world
On the back of a weekend dream
You’re hiding in the Dublin streetlight
Looking for me to land
Waiting till this side of midnight
So you can still make it hand in hand
You tell m you’re in a TV show
Must be one that I haven’t seen
You look like you once did long ago
Through the rose of a tinted screen
You’re blinded by the Berlin nightlights
While you’re trying to make a stand
Waiting till this side of midnight
So you can still make it hand in hand
The radio plays that song again
But you’re dancing on your own
I know you’re asking for a friend
But you’re walking home alone
You tell me you’re going to Hollywood
You’re just waiting on the call
You say that you’re misunderstood
Sadly I understand it all
You’re hiding in the New York skyline
Waiting for me to land
Trying to hit this side of midnight
So you can still make it hand in hand
The DJ plays that song again
But you’re dancing on your own
I know you always like make it mend
But you’re walking home alone
The radio plays that song again
But you’re dancing on your own
I know you’re asking for a friend
But you’re walking home alone
You’re spinning round like a carousel
That endless sound like a china bell
If you tell me you’re a cover girl
I better buy the magazine
You look like you come from another world
On the back of a weekend dream
Crying in the Paris moonlight
Trying to understand
Waiting till this side of midnight
So you can still make it hand in hand
The DJ plays that song again
But you’re dancing on your own
I know you always like make it mend
But you’re walking home alone
The radio plays that song again
But you’re dancing on your own
I know you’re asking for a friend
But you’re walking home alone

PERFECT STRANGER
She’s on the line
She’s talking to that medicine man of mine
She’s on fire
She’s talking to the boy who wants to make her buy
Now its time
When the mirror starts smokin and the lights go out
Like a rhyme
When the song is broken no-one cares about
She could have knocked me blind
Dropping me to the floor
Tick-tocked to another mind
Leaving us wanting more
She took it down
She ended up running to another town
She said it all
Now she’s shouting to the boy who wants to make her fall
Now its time
When the night starts moving and you want go
Like a rhyme
With a song so soothing, no-one’s gonna know
She could have knocked me blind
Dropping me to the floor
Tick-tocked to another mind
Leaving us wanting more
Waiting In line but I know
The girl has gone
Wasting my time cos I know
The girl has gone
The girl has gone
Walking to the edge of danger
The world goes on
But I’m talking to the perfect stranger
She had the word
Never lost story that I always heard
Down to earth
With no-one really knowing what she might be worth
Now its time
When the mirror starts smokin and the lights go out
Like a rhyme
When the song is broken no-one cares about
She could have knocked me blind
Dropping me to the floor
Tick-tocked to another mind
Leaving us wanting more
Waiting In line but I know
The girl has gone
Wasting my time cos I know
The girl has gone
The girl has gone
Walking to the edge of danger
The world goes on
But I’m talking to the perfect stranger

One of these days
I’m gonna find that sugar word
One of these mighty days
You know I’ll make it heard
One of these times
I’m gonna stand up to the call
One of these lonely times
I’m gonna say it all
It’s taken me back again
I wish I could tell you where and when
But I know it’s where I wanna be
I’m living in black and white
But you don’t have to tell me why
I’m hiding in clear sight
It’s a stupid way to say goodbye
One of these nights
Instead of breaking out the door
One of these nights
I’ll tell you what I came here for
One of these days
I’m gonna make it past the wall
One of these mighty days
You know I’ll take the fall
I’m crying in black and white
And you don’t need to tell the lie
See me fading out of sight
Such a stupid way to say goodbye

The Ruby Tears
The Ruby Tears started life as an entirely online collaboration. March 2020, we found ourselves at home and with plenty of time. We decided to write and record an album. We have since written, recorded and released 20 original songs and 2 cover versions and there are more in the pipeline. Our influences have come from the late 60s, 70s rock, New Wave and 80s Post Punk. Check it out!!! ... more
