Lyrics
Love Is Here Anniversary Edition - 2021
-
Wipe the make-up from your face
Tie your hair and gently fall from grace
Until I come again
Take the disaffected life
Men who ran the company ran your life
You could have been his wife
I wanna love you but my hands are tied
I wanna stay here but I've been denied
Lets watch the clock until the morning sun does rise
Wipe the sweat from off your brow
All that you believe is here and now
You could have had more doubt
Wipe the shadow from your eyes
Rest your daughter while your mother cries
You could have let him fly
I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
I wanna stay here but I've been denied
I wanna lie here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt
I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
I wanna stay here but I've been denied
Lets watch the clock until the morning sun does rise
I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
I wanna sleep here but I've been denied
I wanna stay here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt
I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
I wanna sleep here but I've been denied
Lets watch the clock until the morning sun comes out
-
As soon as you sound like him
Give me a call
When you're so sensitive
Its a long way to fall
Whenever you need a home
I will be there
Whenever you're all alone
And nobody cares
You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view
Whenever you reach for me
I'll be your guide
Whenever you need someone
To keep it inside
Whenever you need a home
I will be there
Whenever you're all alone
And nobody cares
You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view
I'll be your guide in the morning
You cover up bullet holes
As soon as you sound like him
Give me a call
When you're so sensitive
Its a long way to fall
You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view
-
Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes
And your Daddy was an alcoholic
But your mother kept it all inside
Threw it all away
I was looking for another you
And I found another one
I was looking for another you
When I looked round you were gone
Stay by my side
And the pipe dream is yours now
Stay by my side
And the singer won't get in our way
Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes
And your Daddy was an alcoholic
But your mother kept it all inside
Threw it all away
I was looking for another you
And I found another one
I was looking for another you
When I looked round you were gone
Stay by my side
And the pipe dream is yours now
Stay by my side
And the cynics won't get in our way
Don't you know you've got your Daddy's eyes
And your Daddy was an alcoholic
But your mother kept it all inside
Threw it all away
I was looking for another chance
To see your blue eyed problem
-
Get back on your feet again
So insincere
Quiet American
I held you so dear
Get back on your feet again
I'm so into you
We met in a cinema
You fell from my view
Lullaby
Stop twisting my words tonight
If you get high on life
Don't leave me behind
Get back on your feet again
Nothing to say
Some of your weaker friends
Get in my away
Get back on your feet again
You always seem down
Some of your weaker friends
Don't want you around
Lullaby
Stop twisting my words tonight
If you get high on life
Don't leave me behind
Lullaby
You live in my ruined mind
Make light of all my fears
And lead me from here
Get back on your feet again
So insincere
Quiet American
I held you so dear
Get back on your feet again
Nothing to say
We met in a cinema
You got in my way
Lullaby
Stop twisting my words tonight
If you get high on life
Don't leave me behind
Lullaby
You live in my ruined mind
Make light of all my fears
And lead me from here

Son
You've got a way to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know
Son
You'd better take it all
They'll tell you what they know
But they won't show
Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer
Son
You've got a way to kill
They're picking on you still
But they don't know
Son
You'd better wait to shine
They'll tell you what is yours
But they'll take mine
Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer
Oh
There's a hole inside my boat
And I need stay afloat
For the summer
Long
Oh
I've got something in my throat
I need to be alone
While I suffer
Oh
There's a hole inside my boat
And I need stay afloat
For the summer
Son
You've got to wait to fall
They'll tell you where to go
But they won't know
-
There's a fever
On the freeway
In the morning
In the morning
And the lover
Smiling for me
Without warning
Without warning
There's an outlaw
On the highway
And she's falling
And she's falling
Man I must have been blind
To carry a torch
For most of my life
These days I'm hanging around
You're out of my heart
And out of my town
There's a fever
On the freeway
In the morning
In the morning
And the lover
Smiling for me
While she's falling
While she's falling
Man I must have been blind
To carry a torch
For most of my life
These days I'm hanging around
You're out of my heart
And out of my town
There's a fever
On the freeway
In the morning
In the morning
And the lover
Smiling for me
Without warning
Without warning
Man I must have been blind
To carry a torch
For most of my life
These days I'm hanging around
You're out of my heart
And out of my town
-
She just wept
Like I could not ignore
How can I act
When my heart's on the floor?
She just wept
'Til her eyes became sore
I knew who she was
But I don't anymore
She just cried
To the ruins of time
That kept us apart
We were doing just fine
She just wept
She was put to the test
Those that she loved
She had learned to detest
Daddy I've got nothing left
My life is good
My love's a mess
Daddy I've got nothing left
What can I do that's for the best?
Daddy I've got nothing left
My life is good
My love's a mess
Daddy I've got nothing left
What can I do that's for the best?

You came waltzing in
Where the love had been
And the boys all looked around
Let me stay while you talk your baby down
I came waltzing in
Where the light had been
And the girls all looked away
Let them stare while we make our getaway
You came waltzing in
Where the light had been
And the dark was all around
Let me stay while they all fall to the ground
I was hiding from the weather
She was recently estranged
When she put me back together
Didn't even know her name
You came waltzing in
Where the life had been
And the death was all around
Let them stare while they all fall to the ground
You came waltzing in
Where the love had been
And the girls all looked away
Let me stay while they make their getaway
I was hiding from the weather
She was recently estranged
When she put me back together
Didn't even know her name
You came waltzing in
Where your life had been
It was nowhere to be found
Take me back to the place where we were bound
You came waltzing in
Where the love had been
And the boys all looked around
Let me stay while you talk your baby down
I was hiding from the weather
She was recently estranged
When she put me back together
Didn't even know her name
-
If you could see the lover in me
And we could join our hands together
If you could see how good it could be
We'll sing these stupid songs forever
Can you feel it?
Love is here
It has never been so clear
You can't love what you have not
So hold on to what you've got
Is Judy really smiling for me?
I'd change my name in case she found me
Trembling I can't believe
I've got to leave the girl behind me
Can you feel it?
Love is here
It has never been so clear
You can't love what you have not
So hold on to what you've got
If you could see the aching in me
I'd change my name in case you lost me
Trembling down to my knees
I've got to leave the world behind me
Can you feel it?
Love is here
It has never been so clear
You can't love what you have not
So hold on to what you've got
-
Feel
Sick after every meal
I'd say
'Cos I know
The life from your burning wheel
Won't wane
Sleep
I sleep every day
Wipe the cobwebs away
I need to be loved
Christ
I'm out of my mind
I need to be loved
I need to be loved
As I turn to you and I say
Thank goodness for the good souls
That make life better
As I turn to you and I say
If it wasn't for the good souls
Life would not matter
Dive straight in on your girlfriend
Making her feel like there's going to be a war
Dive straight in at the deep end
Making you feel like there's going to be a war
As I turn to you and I say
Thank goodness for the good souls
That make life better
As I turn to you and I say
If it wasn't for the good souls
Life would not matter
One good day of the week
And I'll be up again
One good day of the week
I'll be higher than the government
As I turn to you and I say
Thank goodness for the good souls
That make life better
As I turn to you and I say
If you're messing with a good heart
You've got to take what's due
-
If you don't mind
Could we not fight?
I see you're close woman
In the night
I'm sober
Still alive
Waste your days
On your own
Getting drunk
getting stoned
I'm sober
Still alone
Must I always take a back seat?
Must I always be your clown?
Did you ever really love me?
Were you always coming down?
See your face
See your eyes
Shouldn't have left
Shouldn't have lied
I'm sober
Spirit's died
Must I always take a back seat?
Must I always be your clown?
Did you ever really love me?
Were you always coming down?
Must I always take a back seat?
Must I always be your clown?
Did you ever really love me?
Were you always coming down?

We're as different as can be
But we still connect perfectly
A certain kind of chemistry
That they can't define easily
Head is saying give up
Don't go on it's too much
Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
It will speak to you
If you let it
No solutions guaranteed
If you live your life
Down upon your knees
Like the worst is bound to be
Got to let it go and you will be free
Head is saying give up
Don't go on it's too much
Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
We're not at the end yet
Even at the sun set
Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
It will speak to you
If you let it
It will pull you through
Don't forget it
When all the fires start to fall
You feel you're up against it all
Don't think the writings on the wall
Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart x 8
It will speak to you
If you let it
It will pull you through
Don't forget it
Good Souls: The Greatest Hits (2 New Tracks)

The warmth of the sun it's here and its gone but I could never leave
I won't let you down as long as I have air to breathe
Go ahead & be anything you wanna be for one day you'll have to choose
I won't let you down as long as I can carry you
Whoah keep your heart strong till the fear is gone
Whoah it won't be long. Just hold on
When it feels right put up a fight. She'd do the same thing too
I won't let you down as long as I can carry you
Find comfort in storm, reality's warmth
Thats what life should be
I won't let you down as long as I have air to breathe
Whoah keep your heart strong till the fear is gone
Whoah it won't be long. Just hold on
Don't reflect on the moments that you can't get back
Till you're left trying to hide all the cracks
Slow it down till you know where you're at
Stay on track
Whoah keep your heart strong till the fear is gone
Whoah it won't be long just hold on
Whoah keep your heart strong till the fear is gone
Whoah it won't be long just hold on

Take off your halo and rattle your bones
Whenever I'm with you I feel so alone
I know you can do it cos I’ve seen you fight
Put all that energy into tonight
I feel it come and I’m going for broke
I'm just not ready to give up the ghost
I could never let you go
Let you go
I could never let you go
Take off your armour, lay down your sword
We're going round in circles that we can't afford
I know you can do it cos I've seen you write
Put all that energy into our life
I feel it come and I'm going for broke
I'm just not ready to give up the ghost
I could never let you go
Take off your halo and rattle your bones
Whenever I'm with you I feel so alone
I know you can do it cos I've seen you fight
Put all that energy into tonight
Put all that energy into tonight
Put all that energy into tonight
Put all that energy into tonight

If life is a carnival,
Can I stay here a while
Nemesis rose,
And I feel I'm about to go down,
About to go down,
If love is a Ferris wheel,
Can I see how I feel,
She's taking me up but she don't even care to go down,
Care to go down,
Oh my friends we landed in December,
Creating something for you to remember,
The rushes were made, and music was saved,
One two three she's riding up to heaven
Four five six I'm wired up to eleven,
The rushes were made, and music was saved
Back on the ground again,
Excuses are wearing thin,
They came with a bang but they're out with a whimper for now,
Losing it now.
Remember when I was young,
Trying to be someone,
A boy on his heels,
I was never the talk of the town,
Look at me now.
Oh my friends we landed in December,
Creating something for you to remember,
The rushes were made, and music was saved.
One two three she's riding up to heaven
Four five six I'm wired up to eleven,
The rushes were made, and music was saved
Oh my friends we landed in December,
Creating something for you to remember,
The rushes were made, and music was saved
One two three she's riding up to heaven
Four five six I'm wired up to eleven,
The rushes were made and music was saved,
Music was saved.

You take because your neighbour does not see,
That would seem like lunacy to me,
This is my head, you're in my world,
And there's no one but you girl.
This is my head, you're in my world,
And there's no one but you girl.
Tie your lover down while you are free,
That would seem like pure hypocrisy.
This is my head, you're in my world,
And there's no one but you girl.
This is my head, you're in my world,
And there's no one but you girl.
This is my head, you're in my world,
And there's no one but you girl.

Heard you today, that isn't my name, you were fast asleep,
Forget what he did, can I be the kid for your soul to keep.
Some of us laugh, some of us cry,
Some of us smoke, some of us lie,
But it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.
I've grown to see the philosophy of my own mistrust,
We all have our faults, mine come in waves that you turn to rust,
Some of us laugh, some of us cry,
Some of us smoke, some of us lie,
But it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.
I've been hanging onto something,
You keep laughing awe-inspiring.
Some of us laugh, some of us cry,
Some of us smoke, some of us lie,
But it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.
Some of us laugh, some of us cry,
Some of us smoke, some of us lie,
But it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.
My wandering soul found solace at last,
I wanted to know how long it would last.
She's losing control, she's coming down fast,
The heart that I stole, I'm not giving back, never giving back.
-
Everybody says that their looking for a shelter,
Got a lot to give but I don't know how to help her,
I should just let it go till they learn how to grow,
And how to liberate.
Everybody says that she's looking for a shelter,
Got a lot to give but I don't know how I felt her,
They should just let it go till these cities learn to grow,
And how to liberate.
Silence is easy, it just becomes me,
You don't even know me, all lie about me.
Everybody says that I'm looking for a home now,
Looking for a boy or I'm looking for a girl now,
I can still let it go, I can still learn to grow,
Into a child again.
Silence is easy, it just becomes me,
You don't even know me, why lie about me.
Silence is easy, it just becomes me,
You don't even know me, why do you hate me.

We set off that day shaking all the way,
Would your Mother speak to us again.
Put away your doubt that won't help us out,
Just be sure to call before you ground.
The sun shone, the wind cried, so long, goodbye.
Lay your body down for the here and now,
Just be sure to win before you're out.
How you feeling now living with the crown,
Look at her and say you've been let down.
The sun shone, the wind cried, so long, goodnight.
By the book or by the gun there's fear inside of everyone.
Turn your head to face the sun and love will keep you safe.
By the book or by the gun there's fear inside of everyone.
Turn your head to face the sun and love will keep you safe.

Sunshine in the glory skies,
When the broken men open up their eyes.
Sunshine in the glory skies,
When the day is long and the clouds are high.
[Repeat 5 times]
We're stepping through the door
We're shooting from the heart
And if we get it wrong
They'll feed us to the sharks
[Repeat 3 times]

Bells will ring and everyone will know I came to bring my love back home.
Sun will shine on all our days of woe I came to bring my love back home.
All the seas shall rise, all the stars will shine,
And the moon will fall cross the meadow.
And I won't be caught in this state of mind for I know that I'll be your fellow
All the seas shall rise, all the stars will shine,
And the moon will fall cross the meadow.
And I won't be caught in this state of mind but I know that I'll be your fellow.
Bells will ring and everyone will know I came to bring my love, back home.
Sun will dawn on all our days of woe I came to bring my love back home.

Found us in a small cafe,
Happened to be out that day,
To watch it go by.
It came to pass that we shall be,
Early signs of victory from out of their eyes
If you lay your guns to ground,
Feel the weight of coming down,
Fall from your mind.
Something that I ought to say to take away the pain of day,
I'm leading the blind.
Old man drifting won't you carry me out of this place.
Found us in a small cafe,
Happened to be out that day,
To write it all down.
As they fell upon the floor,
Thought of all that's gone before,
They went to the ground.
The white dove is rising to the sound of your god given grace.
To the sound of your god given grace.
-
With hand on heart you right from the start,
You taught me to take my part.
No cross to bear, no reason to care, my life was all up in air,
Four to the floor, I was sure, never seeing clear,
I could have it all, whenever you are near.
The iron hand did not understand the plight of the common man.
Four to the floor I was sure, never seeing clear,
I could have it all whenever you are near.
Four to the floor I was sure, she would be my girl,
We'd rent a little world, have a little girl.
Four to the floor I was sure, never seeing clear,
I could have it all if only you were here.
Four to the floor I was sure she would be my girl,
We'd rent a little world, have a little girl.
Four to the floor I was sure never seeing clear,
I could have it all whenever you are near.

But for the grace of God, she cries herself to sleep
Because the grace of God is something she can't keep.
Oh, it won't be long
Before their hold is broken
No, it won't be long
Until we find our home.
It's for the good of you I write sweet melodies
They'll cast the first stone when the last one's out of reach
Oh, it won't be long
Before their hold is broken
No, it won't be long
Until we've found our home.
Forget where to begin
Mother, I have not sinned
I have not sinned
But for the grace of God, she cries herself to sleep
But now the grace of God's the reason why she weeps
Oh, it won't be long
Before their hold is broken
No, it won't be long
Until we find our home.
When summer comes
Light my life
Snow will melt away
[Repeat]
I was born again, I was born again
Not into the world they put me in
She was born again, she was born again,
Not into the world they put her in
[Repeat]
The hope and the spirit
I'd rather not feel it
The hope and the spirit
I'd rather not fear it

Stayed till the morning
Left with her soul intact
Something was forming
Asked her if she'd come back
My restless heart beats like a wanton drum
Tear me apart, say I'm your only one.
She stayed till the morning
Left with her soul intact
Something was forming
Asked her if she'd come back
My restless heart beats like a wanton drum
Take it to heart, say I'm your only one.
Say I'm your only one
Say I'm your only one
Say I'm your only one
Say I'm your heart
On The Outside

I don't see myself when I look in the mirror
I see who I should be
I don't see myself when I look in your eyes
Thank God for that
I don't see myself when I look cross the river
I see where I should be
I don't see myself when I look from the sky
Thank God for that
I hear them screaming
On the radio
Its getting louder
In the crossfire
Trying to find some hope
From the ashes of their broken homes
I don't see myself when they fail to deliver
I see what I should be
I don't see myself when I look at the flag
Thank God for that
I hear them screaming
On the radio
It's getting louder
In the crossfire
Trying to find some hope
Our day will come
We'll find the sun
We'll find the fire
We'll sanctify
The love we gave
Our one desire
I hear them screaming
On the radio
Its getting louder
In the crossfire
Trying to find some hope
I hear them screaming
On the radio
Its getting louder
In the crossfire
Trying to find some hope
From the ashes of their broken homes
I don't see myself when I look in the mirror

Come down, slowly
Hotel lobby
Our lives are counterfeit if we don't lay down
I should be used to it, but I'm losing my strength now
Come a time when
This darkness, will end
A war for corporate glory
Re-told as a fairy story
Come a time when
This darkness
Will end
I got enough respite to keep on trying
I got enough respite to keep from crying
Come a time when
This darkness
Will end
We should be used to it
Our lives are counterfeit
So lets get back to earth and make the best of it [repeat x4]

Oh, I feel it flow
Through my bones
If, we let it go
We shall grow
Please, now breathe for me,
Slow and slow
Brought something back to me
It's in My Blood
Lost in my memory
Not fast enough
Nothing in life is free
Love is the currency
Oh, I justify
All my lows
She, won't be denied
When she goes
Brought something back to me
It's in My Blood
Lost in my memory
Not fast enough
Nothing in life is free
Love is the currency
Glorious, red filled sky,
Take me up, make me high
Glorious, red filled dawn
Take my hand, I'm re-born
Brought something back to me
It's in My Blood
Lost in my memory
Not fast enough
Nothing in life is free
Love is the currency [repeat]

Tired of living in the modern world
Another casual flag left unfurled by love
Tired of living inside my mind
Another casualty out of time for us
Faith Hope Love,
Be Enough
Tired of living in this modern land
Too many ideals to meet with its demands
Tired Of looking for sympathy
Got to learn to stand on my own two feet
Faith Hope Love,
(Too Much too soon, To see it through, look back at your life with some kind of pride)
Be Enough
If I ever let you down,
Would you ever feel the ground?
Faith Hope Love,
(Too Much too soon, To see it through, look back at your life with some kind of pride)
Be Enough

Woke up reeling
Lost all feeling
Heart on the floor
My eyes to the ceiling
Tried to stop me
But I was not listening
One more drink and I won't miss them
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
But I think I had it
See that poor girl
With the glint in her eye
She could turn you that way
If you're willing to try
Don't you worry about your friends
and the time they're having
They are on the outside and they're looking in
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
But I think I had it
See them wasting it all away
For the sake of a thrill and a game away
Oh they found him
Put him in prison
Could have been worse
They could have killed him
He's not the one
He was only dealing
But there's a killer on the loose
and he meets the description
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
But I think I had it
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
But I think I had it [repeats]

Be still my child
We'll overcome
The evil mind
behind the bomb
So lift your hearts
Open your minds
And leave no room
For words unkind
Be still my friends
We'll overcome
The evil mind
behind that bomb
Don't waste your words
I've already grown
I'm gonna find my way back home
Don't waste your words
I've already grown
I'm gonna find my way back home
Be still my friends
We'll overcome
The evil mind
behind that bomb
Don't waste your words
I've already grown
I'm gonna find my way back home
Don't waste your words
I've already grown
I'm gonna find my way back home [repeats]

Folks from California
Can't live without their sun
They've actor politicians
To infiltrate their young
They live out in the province
To find their kingdom come
The suffering of the father
The sins of the son
OH!
OH!
Here I go
Feel a little guilt for
The damage that's been done
It should be where you're going
Not where you're coming from
OH! The bitter the taste ye'
OH! When they don't deliver
OH! Will keep us together
Here I go (rpt)
Lonely river
Carry further
Take me somewhere
I don't know
Like a platform
For my ideals
Where my hurt will never show
OH! The bitter the taste ye'
OH! When they don't deliver
OH! Will keep us together
Here I go (repeat)

Get out while you can its set to blow,
You should just be glad I let you know
We don't like your kind here
So get out while you can
Get out while you can the need is high
I can see the fear in your eyes
We don't like pure minds here
So get out while you can
Do you see what I see?
A classless society
Get out while you can its set to blow,
You should just be glad I let you know
We planted some mines here
So get out while you can
Do you see what I see?
A plastic society
Won't bring us to our knees
So come on and help me
Do you see what I see?
A plastic society
Won't bring us to our knees
So come on baby
help me won't you please?

In that moment I was frozen out
Of a story that I knew all about
Then I called her in the evening
My depression started lifting
I won't let it kill me
This time
I won't let it kill me
This time
Up to the surface came a feeling
Left me useless
Left me reeling
I won't let it kill me
This time
I won't let it kill me
This time
When the beats run dry there's gonna be some blood
(repeat x 6)
I won't let it kill me
This time
I won't let it kill me
This time

There's a white light that carries me home
Helps me focus when I am alone
Keeps on teaching me how to be loved
And to love
And to love
Onwards to forever
Our minds belong together
She's the good light that carries me on
Helps me focus on where I've gone wrong
Now you've reached me
Its time to forgive and forget
And forget
Onwards to forever
Our minds belong together
Onwards to forever
Our minds belong together
Tonight, this land
Belongs to me
The shifting sands
The shining seas
Onwards to forever
Our minds belong together
Onwards to forever
Our minds belong together
Tonight, this land
Belongs to me
The shifting sands
The shining seas
Won't you help my soul to grow?
To heal, its all that I know

Went off to another land this evening
For to find some inner peace
And to see a better way of living
He only went to try to change something
His poor young life was pulled from under him
Found him by the motorway
Jeremiah ran away from something
Jeremiah's mother wept
For the answers they had left behind them
He only went to try and change something
His poor young life was pulled from under him
And everytime I see the sun go down I think of you
The polizei have swept it out of sight
There's nothing new
And everytime I see the sun go down I think of you
I hope someday someone will feel the need to tell the truth
Little one do not fear
The ways of the world
Will soon be clear
All The Plans

Thought I'd lost you once again
All that drink had brought some trouble to our name
Late at night I feel no shame
All my old war stories take me back again
Thought I'd lost you once again
All that drink had brought some trouble to our name
Late at night I feel no shame
All my old war stories take me back again
Now the lights out
I discover
She is sleeping with another
Tell me it's not over
What a place to seal your fate
A deserted car park
Not even a date
Please don't tell me it’s too late
If you love someone
Don't throw it all away
Now the lights out I discover
Just a weekend
Undercover
Tell me it’s not over
Tell me it’s not over
Tell me it’s not over
Now the lights out
I discover
Just a weekend
Undercover
Now the lights out
Well I discover
She is sleeping
With another
Tell me it’s not over

Oh the firelight
Will soon be right
Will soon be right
Oh your heart and mind
Will soon be mine
Will soon be mine
I wanna be your lover
Hollywood
I wanna write the one that cuts just like it should
I wanna stand together
By your side
I’m the boy in waiting
And I’m still waiting
Oh the heights we climb
From time to time
From time to time
Oh your heart and mind
Will soon be mine
Will soon be mine
I wanna be your lover
Hollywood
I wanna write the one that cuts just like it should
I wanna stand together
By your side
I’m the boy in waiting
And I’m still waiting

Is love just a big mistake
Just a risk that we all take
Trying to keep the blues away
Is love just a means to an end
Back when you were my girlfriend
Had some one I could defend
I'll sit by the riverside
Counting all the ways to make you stay
When I think of you and I
I know I'll be back with you some day
Is love just a big mistake
Just a choice we have to make
Trying to keep the blues away
I'll sit by the riverside
Counting all the ways to make you stay
When I think of you and I
I know I'll be back with you some day
Oh the birds and the bees
The leaves on the trees
Die all at once
Now that you’re gone
I know that I will be back in your arms once again
Oh the birds and the bees
The leaves on the trees
Die all at once
Now that you’re gone
I know that I will be back in your arms once again
I'll sit by the riverside
Counting all the ways to make you stay
When I think of you and I
I know I'll be back with you some day
Is love just a big mistake
Just a risk that we all take
Trying to keep the blues away

You were on the left with anger in your heart
I was on the right too paranoid to start
We are much too young for anything to break
And all the plans we make
And all the plans we made
Let’s get into the season where we can be ourselves
No rhyme or any reason
No stories left to tell
We are much too young for anything to break
And all the plans we make
And all the plans we made
I warned you not to go on
Cherishing your broken heart
So put that last drink down and
Find a better place to start
I want to win your heart
I want to win your heart
I warned you not to go on
Cherishing your broken heart
So put that last drink down and
Find a better place to start
You were on the left
And I was on the right
No way to recompense
What went down last night
We are much too young for anything to break
And all the plans we make
And all the plans we made
And all the plans we make
And all the plans we made

Under a neon sky
The Harland Cranes they fill your eyes
And through July parades
I'm clinging on for dear life
3000 miles from home
My fragile heart was on the run
And in the cold dark night I realised
What I had done
Please don’t turn your back
I’ll change somehow
Don’t look to the past
Our time is now
Under a neon sky
My favourite boy
Searched for the truth
And he’d lead an easy life
That was until he got to you
Please don’t turn your back
I’ll change somehow
Don’t look to the past
Our time is now
Get yourself out of town
There's no point hanging round there's a passion inside
You've had since your youth
Well you write and you write and you work 9-5
Well I'm doing it all just to satisfy you
-
Well they let you down
Fallen angel, upon the ground
And they filled you all up with drugs
Then one day you just gave it up
You’re a shining star
Hotels, airports and mini bars
And you lived your life by the book
Then one day you just gave it up
And you, you never get what you deserve, not you
On a life support machine
A damaged teenage queen
A danger to yourself
Did she bring you round
Or win your heart by just being round
O do you think of the one you lost
Late at night while you count the cost
And you, you never get what you deserve, not you
On a life support machine
A damaged teenage queen
A danger to yourself
Life was dealt an awful hand
It didn’t end as planned
It started off so well
It started off so well
-
We all get burned sometimes
Lately I’ve had mine
Starts off in your mind
Runs right down your spine
We all get hurt by love
When you’ve had enough
Cracks all start to show
Sooner than you know
And it hurts too much
I’m letting you go
I’ll walk these wet streets
Somewhere alone
We all get taken in
By dreams we’ll never be in
Problems that we face
Soon will be replaced
And it hurts too much
I’m letting you go
I’ll walk these wet streets
Somewhere alone
And it hurts too much
I’m letting you go
I’ll walk these wet streets
Somewhere alone
You’re looking for something
You already know
I’m down upon my knees
I see a ray of hope
I’m down upon my knees
I see a ray of hope

The stars and stripes won't keep you warm at night
Won't keep those evil empires from your door
The union jack strapped across your back
Has lost some of the strength it had before
The families of your men can't be ignored
This land of green becoming so obscene
A chance to have a history to tell
A fairy tale nation up for sale
They sell in San Francisco oh so well
Put your bullets down you may as well
The ground on which you stand
Not owned by any man
Oh this fragile peace
So close your weary eyes
That old romantic prize
It never can be reached
It never can be
Oh tell me that you love me
The stars and stripes won't keep you warm at night
Won't keep those evil empires from your door
A fairytale nation up for sale
The families of your men can't be ignored
Put your bullets down now I implore
The ground on which you stand
Not owned by any man
Oh this fragile peace
So close your weary eyes
That old romantic prize
It never can be reached
It never can be reached
It never can be reached
It can’t be reached
The stars and stripes won't keep you warm at night
Won't keep those evil empires from your door

Maybe you think she’s not for me
Maybe you think she’s got a chequered history
Maybe I should not have to try
Send her some money
And have an easy life
Couldn’t change my mind
Though I try this time
Couldn’t change my mind
If you tried
Maybe we’ve lost our little way
Maybe we’ll get back the dreams of yesterday
Tell me your weakness and I’ll try
To make a balance
I know that I’ve got mine
Couldn’t change my mind
Like the hands of time
Couldn’t change my mind
If you tried
Lord you’ve tried
And if I fall would you catch me
Understand all I could be
Open up let it breath
Couldn’t change my mind
Like the hands of time
Couldn’t change my mind
If you tried
Lord you’ve tried
-
So it was my life began
Just a pale and drawn shadow of a man
Then I put my armour on
This could be the night all my fears are gone
This could be the one
Listen Up
We're gonna make it somehow
We're gonna change the world
Starting here and now
There's a time for standing tall
Every man must rise
Every man must fall
When he comes to call
Listen Up
We're gonna make it somehow
We're gonna change the world
Starting with here and now
Listen Up We're gonna make it somehow
We're gonna change the world
Starting with here and now
Listen Up We're gonna make it somehow
We're gonna change the world
Starting with here and now

Sit down my wounded friend
You’re safe at home again
Or in a strange hotel
Where we can play pretend
But when it rains
My heart it soars
What’s yours is mine
What’s mine is yours
There’s still a cloud
Hangs over my head
Can’t block it out
I’m going to bed
Sit down, sit down again
There’s nothing left to lose
It’s still a golden age
When all I have is you
But when it rains
My heart it soars
What’s yours is mine
What’s mine is yours
But there’s still a cloud
Hangs over my head
Can’t block it out
So I’m going to bed
Where the Wild Things Grow - 2024
-
Dressed up to the nines
With nowhere to be now
I finally find who I wish to be now
The solace of sleep
Is coming on slow
Where the wild things grow
The branches they bend in twisted dimensions
And break out a beat to my apprehension
The solace of sleep is coming on slow
My silence creates a sweet afterglow
Where the wild things grow
A luminous drop to make this solution
So that your doubts have something to soothe them The solace of sleep is coming on slow
Our silence creates a sweet afterglow
Where the wild things grow
The solace of sleep is coming on slow
Our silence creates a sweet afterglow
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
They’ll grow They’ll grow They’ll grow They’ll grow They’ll grow They’ll grow They’ll grow They’ll grow
where you are where you are where you are
where you are where you are where you are

You caught me out with a sucker punch
And from then you were all there was
Been kicked around the world
When you broke down it was unrefined
Your protection became mine
Been kicked around the world
Been kicked around
No punchline to anticipate
No undercard this is heavyweight
Guard up don’t hesitate
No undercard this is heavyweight
When you broke down
It was undefined
Our directions intertwined
Been kicked around the world
Been kicked around
No punchline to anticipate
No undercard this is heavyweight
Guard up don’t hesitate
No undercard this is heavyweight
This is the greatest
This is the greatest feeling
This is the greatest
This is the greatest feeling of all

I wanna take you dancing in the afterglow
You always gain the knowledge when the time has flown
Cos everybody wants to know the cracks to your secret code
We’re dead on the money alive in hope
I wanna shed this skin that I have always worn
Were trying to build a life with what is left after the storm
Cos everybody wants to know the cracks to your secret code
We’re dead on the money alive in hope
Praying to the silence
Rapping on the window pain
Now you’ve fed the lions
Nothings gonna be the same
Cos everybody wants to know the cracks to your secret code
We’re dead on the money alive in hope
Cos everybody wants to know the cracks to your secret code
We’re dead on the money alive in hope
We’re dead on the money alive in hope
