Another Evening
04:35
|
|||
|
In the heat of the night, let’s hope it rains again.
I’ll have you here by my side. In the morning will we be friends?
And your eyes they give no steer
And I’m just filled with fear.
Your lips and mine have never met.
Another evening, another evening
Another evening of regret
Are these games that we play? All the words we never say.
What’s the sign to start? Does it need to be so hard?
Chorus
The clumsy date we should have had, scared that it might go so bad.
All the friends that we might lose, will cement this big excuse.
Chorus
I never learnt this lesson well, instead returned to live this hell, again, again and again (repeat)

You Never Said Goodbye
05:53
|
|||
|
It was early in the morning
When I heard the buses leave
And looking through my curtains, uncertain of what I might see
You didn’t come to see me
Oh you never said goodbye
With a heart of lead I sank back to bed and cried
And the weeks they soon became months
And the months they soon were years
I read the occasional letter, upsetter
In floods of tears
An old man in his fading years
And life just carried on
But the people, the places, the music remind me of my son
And I was sitting with my memories, when a knock came on my door
And I wonder what the message would be from the war
With tears and fears and aching heart I forced myself to move
And I broke down
At the sight of you
And how you made it through the war
When so many friends had died
You spare me all the detail, the sad tales
I’m just happy you survived
And all around I see despair
From families broke in two
I always thought I had no luck, but then it brought home you
And I was sitting with my memories, when a knock came on my door
And I wonder what the message would be from the war
With tears and fears and aching heart I forced myself to move
And I broke down
At the sight of you

Charlotte
05:10
|

I remember your touch, I remember your skin
I remember the place that we first met in
I remember your tongue as it danced around my teeth
I woke in the morning, the perfume on your sheets
The dress that you wore, the ribbons in your hair
The blood red lips and that piercing stare
Instead you were gentle and you were complete
Except that you’d fall in love with every man you’d meet
Oh Charlotte, it’s the truth that hurts.
You and I know that it would never have worked
I hoped that you’d never change and you would stick by me
You were not the vision that I could see
In the photo I took, you’re walking with intent
An angel in leather you were heaven sent
I still feel shame for the anger that I showed
I still feel sorry that it took so long to go
Chorus

Dangerous Ground
05:24
|
|||
|
Shooting from the hips I’m treading, dangerous ground the pain I’m spreading
Loosing friend and loosing lovers, hold my counsel with all others
Friends at work and friends at home, working to a life alone
Or maybe that’s the final plan, no-one understands this man
Oh will I ever learn
Oh my reputations burnt
Telling it how I see it now, I’m in trouble again somehow
I’ve wounded you with words of fun, come unstuck with my lethal tongue
Same performance different stage, passing through my middle age,
Once again another frown, what’s the chance of toning down?
Oh will I ever learn
Oh my reputations burnt
Barrier to the life up top, no new tricks for this troubled dog

Left Out
02:59
|
|||
|
What do you see in the rays of the sun
Is it any wonder you feel you've been done
No bright side, just a tough hide, you're angry and your mean
Don't jump up young man, there are ways to be seen
And what does your soul mean
Have your dreams, have your fun
And if when your lies die
Will you still be young
And the sea breeze in the harbour and the dew on the trees
The world is shining, while inside you freeze (verse x2)
And what does your soul mean
Have your dreams, have your fun
And if when your lies die
Will you still be young

Field Of The Dead
06:47
|
|||
|
Don’t live, don’t love, don’t cheer, don’t run
Don’t give, don’t feel, don’t smile, no fun
Don’t paint or draw or go astray
And while we’re at it, mend your ways
Don’t sing compose or play new songs
What was wrong with the older ones
Don’t laugh, don’t joke, don’t eat, don’t drink
And most of all, don ever think!
Farewell to the Cathedral with it's three spires
Farewell to the city in sleepyshire
You held my youth, with ball and chain
Curbed my ambitions with reactionary reigns
Farewell, farewell, farewell to you
Farewell, farewell, farewell to you
Goodbye to Johnson and his book of words
Goodbye to the churches and their guilty herds
And I hope one day to have lost the school
That put the 'no chance' in the book of rules
Begin again, in an off world
Field of the dead,
Field of the dead
Now I feel sorry for those who remain
To fuel the engine for Conservative gain
And I feel sorry for the child with art
Who is born in this city, a challenging start

All That You’ve Done
05:16
|
|||
|
Written in the sky
Lighting up your life
Your sure of this destiny
That keeps on passing by
And all that you’ve done
And all that you’ve given it my friend
You reach but you can’t grip
That ever-elusive tip
How to reach the starting line
That’s given you the slip
Chorus x2
You don’t feel it’s wrong
When others move along
Jealousy and bitterness don’t pay
Standing last in line
Giving it your time
For when other people stop and listen its OK
I’ve heard your songs
I’ve seen your art
There’s poetry inside you
But you just can’t get that start
Chorus x4

Missing You
04:18
|
|||
|
Of all the people I have seen
I wonder if I've ever been
In your heart
Even though I never cried
A part of my soul almost died
When I lost you
Tonight I'm missing you x2
One day when you’re dead and gone
& I think back on what went wrong
Will I know, will I know
The strange fact is that I had seen
As if the whole affair was a dream
That you would leave
Tonight I'm missing you x4
One day when you’re dead and gone
I think back on what went wrong
Will I know, will I know
I hope sometime that I will show
The kind of love that you let go
To someone new .... but
Tonight I'm missing you x4

We’re Still Alive
05:50
|
|||
|
I’ve got a part of you right here
It’s just a tiny time but I hold it dear
You want this stress to be forever
And drive this breakdown together
And sifting through the residue
I know you think that I hate you
So many things I could never say
I know you’d take them all the wrong way
And look at us were still alive
We’ve broke these chains and survived
And even though you said we’d die
We’re still alive
If the truth was known I still love you
But if I told you I hate to think what you would do
Instead I’ll live up to your lies
And help us live these separate lives
And look at us were still alive
We’ve broke these chains and survived
And even though you said we’d die
We’re still alive

Tumble
05:06
|
|||
|
You tumbled into my life
I don’t know why I let you in
I don’t need another lover
I have got no room within
I didn’t see you coming
To perform the siren in this show
While I was breaking promises
I didn’t hear you go
(Chorus Chords)
Well now I’ve been forgiven
And I am back on track
A hard way to learn the lesson
About the courage that I lacked
Did I do the things I said that I would never do
The pain and the shame of being with you
Did I do the things I said that I would never do
The pain and the shame of being with you
Now I see you with your baby
And I’m wondering where you’ve been
You catch my eye, I catch your smile
I know what’s behind that grin
This time I’ve seen you coming
I can hear the words you think
The danger in craving
And I am gone before you wink
Did I do the things I said that I would never do
The pain and the shame of being with you x4
The pain and the shame of being with you x3

The Imperfect Dream
08:43
|
|||
|
Oh So Cold
Yet every drop of sweat that breaks upon the ground below
That makes the soil turn wet and still your profits grow
It’s not me
For I still have my dreams that set me free
The final mile, in a life of style.
A few good friends and a certain end
A bike, a car, a house a plane. And still that quest for fame
I wish I had another life, no hate, no pain, despair or strife
The imperfect dream
The hidden place, the golden lie. When life comes banging, a place to hide
Or a place to die
Or a different world
All those fantasies that you star in. Rolling over the record win.
Write a song, an instant smash, while bathing in the easy cash
Or the here and now
The alarm clock rings as the morning breaks, another day as the world awakes
You can battle for a while, or find the thing that makes you smile
I wish I had another life, no hate, no pain, despair or strife
The imperfect dream
The hidden place, the golden lie. When life comes banging, a place to hide
Or a place to die
