She Let Go
03:15
|

a sea of sand lasts a lifetime
and we’re gonna drown in the sun
a journey’s unexpected friend
be together ‘til the end
with one look all is forgiven
with one breath all is forgot
a simple ask a simple task
a simple ask a simple task
killer sands and beating hearts
sylvia sims cranking parts
she let go

Show me the Door
02:02
|
|||
i can see what you can’t see
so next time
pull up quickly
open up that door
i can see you’re far from me
so next time
jump the red
i’m pushing at that door
you’re just what i want
and you know what i need
driving wild and recklessly
in quick time
wishing hoping
staring at the floor
you’re just what i want
and you know what i need
one day you will understand
eventually
i find it hard to see how
it still bothers me now

Could do Better
02:32
|
|||
is this the best they can do?
the best of a bad lot
you gotta move on
when it’s all you’ve got
is this the best you can do?
well i’ve been the other side
what do they say
about a fall and pride?
no kind words
or soft soap for you
cos you could do better
and if the best you can do
is still not good enough
a lesson is learnt
and life is tough
when you’re hanging on
and all your strength has gone
hang on some more
it won’t be long

Tonight
03:44
|
|||
staring out the same old window
reflecting pain on pane
reach out across the table
wheels coming off again
reliving one more dream of you
make up excuses
i can use to end the night
i guess i got it right
all i’ll ever want
is here with me tonight
when you want to talk
i’ll share with you tonight
that’s all i’ll ever ask of you
tonight
six hours down and counting
i’m feeling wide awake
i count the stars as day breaks
too many words to take

During the War
01:40
|
|||
sit down son
and let me tell you
what we went through in the war
suicide vests
packets of crisps
what we went through in the war
no singing nuns,
no jackboot huns
marching across the land
we sat around and watched tv
bad news on demand
what we went through in the war
sit down son
pin back your ears
what we went through in the war
bloody massacres
a couple of beers
what we went through in the war
no nazi hordes
no panzer tanks
no clowning around
in bombed out banks
it’s off with your head
for a hijacked book
cos you’re worth it
with your london look
what we went through in the war
no singing nuns
no jackboot huns
marching across the land
we’re still sitting
on our arses
stuffed crust and deep panned

Back in the World
02:22
|
|||
first day back and all seems well
it’s smiles and beers
but who can tell
they try to understand
first day back
you look ahead
all you see is a warm bed
it’s gravy from now on
back in the world
and i’ll see you on the other side
first day back you settle in
mundane life is wearing thin
you need to take it slow
first day back
the cracks appear
you’re still there
and not quite here
take a minute to explain
first day back
a wounded soul
can swallow their heart
and lose control
will help be there to call?
don’t wash your hands
don’t shake your head
don’t sleep soundly in your bed
hear about it on the news
|
||||
7. |
||||
you can put your hand down now
we’ve found the answer
you’re not the only one who knows
i want to help you
you’re getting on
their nerves again
talking over friends of mine
i want to hear you say
i wanna be your someone
special someone every day
it’ll never get that far
come what may
you’ve got an answer for everything too sharp you speak too soon
you know the questions
before they’re even out the mouth

Beetle in a Jar
02:41
|
|||
if you wake up now
you’ll hit the ground
like falling from
a 40 storey floor
if you try too hard
to open up
then your body fails
like a hundred times before
i know that something
isn’t everything
but it’s better
than the dish served up so far
walk in the woods
the trees are everything
the sun has trapped you
like a beetle in a jar

Montauk
02:35
|
|||
playtime at the station
bitter cold
was beating through my head
flame-haired orange intrigue girl
i’m a loner lying in my bed
they’re erasing you now
don’t want to
they’re erasing you now
i love you
so will there be a next time?
electrodes at the ready
fighting back
i hide you in my head
cassette played in the car now
grab the steering wishing i was dead

Ugly Suits
02:26
|
|||
i know that you know
it’s no surprise at all
they chop away at everything
falling with statues
lay crushed upon the floor
the ugly suits are out the door
why can’t everybody see
we’re being smothered by the greed? turning full circle
rewriting history
they burn your eyes
for every sin
no easy answers
we have no time to think
the ugly suits grab everything

What People Say
03:37
|
|||
can you hear them?
bragging, proud and boasting
head gets in the way
can you hear them?
never once relenting
that’s what people say
jump what’s in the way
jump what’s in the way
love what’s in the way
go to where you wanna go
can you feel them?
venom, spitting, hiding
pride is here to stay
can you feel them?
rank and condescending
making people pay
i know where you’re heading
so please lead me to your door
i don’t want to stay
don’t want to be here any more

No Good
04:51
|
|||
first met when at school
had a kid played it cool
love conquers all
in time for a fall
time passed smiles fade away
worry lines from bills to pay
fists start to fly
make up on one eye
he’s no good for you
people like it
cos he plays the fool
he’s no good for you
fell apart pushed downstairs
cheap booze doesn’t care
where there’s a will
pint glass to fill
panic button nuisance calls
once loved twice a fool
won’t take him back
she needs to pack
