Midnight Train 03:30

On the midnight Train I’m dreaming of you Hoping That I’ll be back in your arms so soon The bight I left made realise How much I miss your deep blue eyes Oh midnight train take me home Oh midnight train I’m all alone Oh midnight train racing down the track I’m coming back, coming back home So I’m coming home on the midnight train So I can ease your heartache and pain I never meant to leave you blue But fate and feelings can be so cruel Oh midnight train take me home Oh midnight train I’m all alone Oh midnight train racing down the track I’m coming back, coming back home Home where I belong I wish I’d never left you alone Home where the love’s so strong I wanna be back, back where I belong Oh midnight train take me home Oh midnight train I’m all alone Oh midnight train racing down the track I’m coming back, coming back home Home where I belong I wish I’d never left you alone Home where the love’s so strong I wanna be back, back where I belong Oh midnight train take me home Oh midnight train I’m all alone Oh midnight train racing down the track I’m coming back, coming back home Home where I belong I wish I’d never left you alone Home where the love’s so strong I wanna be back, back where I belong

I can’t stand the pain of loving you from so far away I’m a fool to love you the way I do or so my friends say I think of the night that we met a hot a steamy summer’s night I kissed you held you close we made love until the morning light I want you to know That I love you so All I have to remember you by is a faded photograph And each time I look at your face I wonder what was making you laugh Over and over and over I read the letters that you send to me I hang on every word you write oh I’m hooked hopelessly I want you to know That I love you so And no matter how far away My love will never sway And no matter how far away I will love you every single day Oh I can’t stand the pain of loving you from so far away I dream of holding you in my arms every single day Tell me please I got to know please understand Was it love was it lust or was I just a one night stand I want you to know That I love you so And no matter how far away My love will never sway And no matter how far away I will love you every single day I can’t stand the pain of loving you from so far away I’m a fool to love you the way I do or so my friends say Oh I can’t stand the pain of loving you from so far away I dream of holding you in my arms every single day

Never Say No (part 1) 03:00
lyrics
buy track
I’m beginning to feel the drink As the clock strikes at midnight You light me a cigarette and Whisper everything’s alright I look in to your eyes Do they mean what they say? A glance turns in to a stare Self-control slips away I shouldn’t do this I shouldn’t do this to myself I shouldn’t do this to you Why can I never say no? A promise of love And a stagger across the dance floor Drunken naked passion I don’t want to feel like this anymore I feel so dirty I feel so cheap A pointless liaison And a memory that I won’t keep Why do I do this? Why do I do this to myself? Why do I do this to you? Why can I never say no? Reluctance is fading Resistance is falling Lust grows forever stronger Temptation is forever calling I shouldn’t do this I shouldn’t do this to myself I shouldn’t do this to you Why can I never say no? Why do I do this? Why do I do this to myself? Why do I do this to you? Why can I never say no to this?

Summer Has Gone 04:27
lyrics
buy track
So come lay with me and let’s stare at the sky We can forget all the tears that we’ve ever cried Ignore that I can’t do enough to please And just listen to the whispers in the trees Now that summer has gone Don’t let time tear us apart Now that the winter has come Let me be the beat in your heart So come lay with me and let’s count the stars Leave those behind who want us to part I know living with me is sometimes tough And saying that I love you is just not enough Now that summer has gone Don’t let time tear us apart Now that the winter has come Let me be the beat in your heart So I’ll just lay here alone in the dark While you try to get yourself back on track And I’ll try ignoring that I’m no good for you And try to be the man that you once knew Now that summer has gone Don’t let time tear us apart Now that the winter has come Let me be the beat in your heart

Good Man Down 03:40
lyrics

My arms fall limp and hang at my sides My thoughts start drifting so far and wide You’ve judged this book wrongly by its cover I may have lost this day but I’ll be back to fight another I feel so weak And I feel so cold I’m lost like a child And I feel so old You can’t keep a good man You can’t keep a good man down You can’t keep a good man You can’t keep a good man down Your accusations tumble like an avalanche If I could only speak, if you only gave me a chance I’ve done nothing to hurt you in any way I can’t believe the price that you’ve made me pay I feel so weak And I feel so cold I’m lost like a child And I feel so old You can’t keep a good man You can’t keep a good man down You can’t keep a good man You can’t keep a good man down no You can’t keep a good man down I felt so weak And I felt so cold I was lost like a child And I felt so old You couldn’t keep this good man You couldn’t keep this good man down You couldn’t keep this good man You couldn’t keep this good man down You couldn’t keep this good man You couldn’t keep this good man down You couldn’t keep this good man You couldn’t keep this good man down no

With Out You 03:35
lyrics

So this is it We’re at the finishing line And now you’ve said it’s over I should have read all the signs So where’s the silver lining This cloud is supposed to have When time is the greatest healer And time is all I have Didn’t think I could live without you But I’ll be alright without you I’ll find a new life without you I Know I’ll get through So this is it Game over and no replay We’re at the end of the road Is there nothing left to say? I thought it was getting better But you put a bullet though my heart You couldn’t see it through Till death do us a part Didn’t think I could live without you But I’ll be alright without you I’ll find a new life without you I Know I’ll get through You still believe that I’m in love with you But trust me I feel… the same way as you

Can't You See 04:09
lyrics
buy track
You said to me that you'd never leave You broke your promises and you left me to grieve I couldn't believe that you went away And now you're back I've got nothing to say ‘Coz words are so hard to find To what I say you are blind I can't believe you're doing this to me Can't you let it lie and let me be free? Scars running so deep can't you let them heal? I wish that you could see just how I feel ‘Coz only ashes remain With the memories of pain Can't you see that I don't love you Can't you see I no longer want you Can't you see that's it's all over Can't you see that there is no more A fiery passion long gone it's just not the same I just can't go along playing your games What kind of guy do you take me for? That I'll come running as soon as you knock my door

Anything For You 03:33
lyrics

I would have stole the stars from the sky And never ever told you a lie I would have walked a thousand miles To be with you and see one of your smiles I would have done anything for you Now I won’t lose any sleep over you I would have let you make me look a fool Now I won’t shed any tears over you I would crawled across broken glass And stopped all clocks so that time wouldn’t pass I would have stopped the sun going down Just to be sure that you wouldn’t frown I would’ve done anything for you Now I won’t lose any sleep over you I would have let you make me look a fool Now I won’t shed any tears over you You’ve had your chance At true romance I no longer love you No longer, I want you I would’ve given you all that I own And made sure that you were never alone I would have done the impossible for you Just to hear you say that you loved me too I would’ve done anything for you Now I won’t lose any sleep over you I would have let you make me look a fool Now I won’t shed any tears over you You’ve had your chance At true romance You threw it away There’s nothing left for me to say

The Grass Was Never Greener 03:15
lyrics

Sitting here thinking about the two years past About the way you broke me and how our feelings contrast The grass was never greener but it was from where you stood You left me so you could do the things you felt you should You listened to me but I didn’t seem to be heard You talked for hours but hardly said a word Sitting here drinking falling into a trance And as the light fades I dream of one more chance Alone here drinking alone with my broken dreams I’m just a drowning man but no one hears my screams You listened to me but I didn’t seem to be heard You talked for hours but hardly said a word The grass was never greener The grass was never greener The grass was never greener The grass was never greener Sitting here thinking I guess I’ve only myself to blame And what could have been and how to live with my pain Alone here blinking at the light of a brand new day An empty glass at my side and a hurt that won’t go away You listened to me but I didn’t seem to be heard You talked for hours but hardly said a word The grass was never greener The grass was never greener The grass was never greener The grass was never greener

The Sun Still Shines 05:04
lyrics

The image of that day still haunts me now Blood smeared across your furrowed brow I couldn’t believe what you had done with your bear hands Like a scene from a film your silhouette on the stair At the bottom lay the man slumped back in his chair His skin so grey and his eyes fixed in a lifeless stare The sun still shines and the rivers still flow The rain still falls and the flowers still grow The birds still sing and the winds still blow But now you’ve thrown that all away You rushed outside into the pouring rain Blood on your hands as you scream in vain But strangely I thought that you still looked so pretty Your childlike beauty and your innocent gaze Long since lost in that murderous haze I can’t believe the evil that dwells within your soul The sun still shines and the rivers still flow The rain still falls and the flowers still grow The birds still sing and the winds still blow But now you’ve thrown that all away The sun still shines, the sun still shines, The sun still shines, the sun still shines, Shines, shines and now you’ve thrown that all away Yesterday’s heroes are tomorrow’s fools Now that you are on the front page news The pieces of your shattered life lay in front of you A tear slips down your solemn face As you stand accused awaiting your fate It’s time to pay for the life you took so cheaply The sun still shines and the rivers still flow The rain still falls and the flowers still grow The birds still sing and the winds still blow But now you’ve thrown that all away

Alone 04:21

When I get old there’s a place I shall live in Solid and sure when the wind blows cold I’ll deck it out this place I shall live in With my favourite things in a style so bold It will be mine this place I shall live in All that I love to my heart I’ll hold I will be there this place I shall live in Content and safe like a lamb in the fold I shall live forever on my own I shall live forever on my own With No love to hold me, to own me, control me With No one to blind me, repress me and crush me All that I want for shall be there at my side All that I long for is my own sense of pride All that I need shall be there for my pleasure All that I need shall be mine to treasure Food for my body and food for my soul Me on my own is my only goal When I get old there’s a place I shall live in There I shall be ‘til my blood runs cold I shall live forever on my own I shall live forever on my own With No love to hold me, to own me, control me With No one to blind me, repress me and crush me With No love to hold me, to own me, control me No one to call me, to use me, abuse me.

Never Say No (part 2) 04:20
lyrics

The smoke is beginning to clear As it rises in to the air It’s five in the morning now You lie back without a care I watch you sleep Tell me, am I in your dreams I can almost hear your nightmares And your silent screams I’ve waited too long I’ve waited too long for your kiss I’ve waited too long for you Why can I never say no to this? Love in a parked car On a deserted street Claustrophobic passion A love so incomplete I feel so dirty I feel so unclean A sense of security But hell knows where she’s been I can’t say no I can’t say no to your kiss I can’t say no to you Why can I never say no to? I’ve lost my grip I’ve lost my hold Resistance has long since faded My ego so out of control I can’t say no I can’t say no to your kiss I can’t say no to you Why can I never say no to? I can’t say no I can’t say no to your kiss I can’t say no to you Why can I never say no to?
