What Do I Say?
04:12
|
|||
|
In a town where dreams look for someone to cling to
I’ll tell you a story of a boy I once knew
His mother lied to him his entire life
Living all his years on the edge of a knife
His father was strong but not knowing his son
Too long at the office and no time for fun
Then the quarrels began between mum and dad
Stuck in the middle not knowing good from bad
So what do I tell him?
What do I say?
So mum and dad went their separate ways
And that’s when his life went astray
He entered a world of pleasures and pains
The highs and lows flowing through his veins
As a man he was just a scared little boy
Spiralling up and down into a void
Trying to drink himself out of this whole
Again and again spinning out of control
So what do I tell him?
What do I say?
The last time I saw him he was covered in blood
He died at thirty nine all he needed was love
So what do I tell him?
What do I say?

Forbidden Love
03:35
|
|||
|
We have different lives meeting time to time
Are we just good friends or do I cross that line
And now people are starting to talk about us
Untrue stories of a forbidden lust
But If only he whispers were true
Then I could be with you
If only the rumours were right
We could be together tonight
There are too many reasons for us to be apart
But none of them stop this aching in my heart
I’m filled with emotions that don’t belong
And I’m torn with guilty feelings so wrong
If only he whispers were true
Then I could be with you
If only the rumours were right
We could be together tonight
I’m not sure how you feel
I’m not sure I want to know
A forbidden love
That has no place to go
I’m promised to another who I don’t want to hurt
But it’s hard not to respond to the way you flirt
A gentle touch an uncertain glance
And I dream of us together in a moonlit dance

Bitter And Twisted
03:59
|
|||
|
I walk into a bar for some time to think
And the bar man asks me what I’d like to drink
And as I sit down he sits opposite me
A man with a story, a tale to heed
I take sip as he starts his story
Warts and all in its entire glory
All the times he’d been stabbed in the back
And all the bastards who tried to make him crack
So bitter and twisted
So bruised and blistered
He Cries “Does no one care for the good that I’ve done?”
“Will no one care when I’m dead and I’m gone?”
I sit uncomfortably as he tells me more
Listening carefully as I stare at the floor
He trusted fools and believed in their lies
And those he’d loved who’d bled him dry
He used to be the life and soul
But the lies have taken their toll
No more laughs and no more smiles
Just cynical and bitter and full of bile
So bitter and twisted
So bruised and blistered
He Cries “Does no one care for the good I’ve that done?”
“Will no one care when I’m dead and I’m gone?”
I call for a drink and I light up a smoke
And shift my seat and begin to choke
For this man’s tale of woe and error
Comes from the man looking at me in the mirror

Angel In A Storm
03:28
|
|||
|
Look into my heart
The best place for us to start
Look Into my eyes
See the truth behind the lies
I wanna live
Live real imitation lives
I wanna have
Have fake emotional ties
Look toward tomorrow
And let me ease your sorrow
Look into my soul
And let’s make two halves a whole
I wanna breathe
Breathe the same air as you
I wanna share
Share both good and bad with you
You’re like an angel in a storm
A tangled mess in perfect form
You make me laugh you make me cry
With a love that soars so high in the sky
I wanna breathe
Breathe the same air as you
I wanna share
Share both good and bad with you

Summer Has Gone
04:53
|
|||
|
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

With Out You
03:46
|
|||
|
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

Am I Really In Love?
03:04
|
|||
|
I want to say that I love you
But I’m not sure what to do
If I say those words will you run away?
And I’m scared of what you might say
And the passion in your kiss
Has made me question this
Am I really in love...with you
Am I in love with you?
Am I really in love with you?
So I ask you what’s the deal.
Is it love or lust that you feel?
What I feel is new to me
I want to be sure can’t you see?
And the only way I’ll ever know
Is if I should leave or you should go
But you’re the best thing to happen to me
Is it love that I really feel?
Am I really in love
You’ve put the smile back on my face
And brought me to a better place
You’ve brought happiness back to me
And a new sense of dignity
And the passion in your kiss
Has made me realise this
I’m really in love...with you
I’m really in love with you
Yes I’m really in love with you

Anything For You?
04:22
|
|||
|
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

Good Man Down
04:03
|
|||
|
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

Sammy
04:04
|
|||
|
Sammy woke with a smile each day
And a million dreams lighting her way
But it all went wrong as New York burned
Her man left her a woman spurned
So all the things she held to be true
Vanished in the haze of what she once knew
And now she’s rewriting history
Trying to make it what it used to be
Sammy’s reading between the lines
Sammy’s misreading all the signs
Sammy believes she’s found another lover
Sammy’s in love with a man who doesn’t love her
Sammy believes she’s found another lover
Sammy’s in love with a man who doesn’t love her
And that man is me
And now Sammy won’t leave me alone
She keeps calling me on the telephone
Sammy say’s I’ve led her on
But she can’t see right from wrong
She cherry picks things that were said
Sammy’s just a car crash in her own head
She’s buried reality in a dream
Now things aren’t what they seem
Now Sammy is broken beyond repair
She’s seeing things that just aren’t there
Where will all this madness end?
Coz all I wanted was a friend

Unfaithful
03:15
|
|||
|
She came to me
Said are you free
I lied and said I’d go with her
We went outside
Into the night
We kissed and clutched just like lovers
I pulled away
Said I can’t betray
But she pulled me back into her arms
So there she lay
Wanting me to play
And she gave herself to me under the stars
I got home late
My girl awake
And she saw the guilt in my eyes
The questions came
My excuses lame
And she left me standing all alone
I sat alone
A king on a throne
Without his queen by his side
I felt so bad
I felt so sad
I’d lost the only girl I’d ever loved
I didn’t mean to hurt her
I didn’t mean to make her suffer
She was my girl
She was my world
But like a fool I threw it all away
I should have known
I’d end up alone
And that love’s too precious to throw away
Too precious to throw away
Too precious to throw away

I'm All Yours
03:34
|
|||
|
I must be getting really near
To no longer being here
I’m ready
And I’m not too far away
From the end of all my days
I’m ready
I’ll spend some time on a railway line
Sit and wait for my destruction
Spread my remains under a train
So long
You can celebrate our years
With all my lonely tears
I’m going
You’re my beloved sacred cow
And that’s all I am now
So I’m going
Gonna freak you out you won’t believe it
Got me hanging from the ceiling
It’ll look so good come round later
I’m all yours
Must be getting really near
To no longer being here
I’m ready
And if tomorrow’s like today
I can see no other way
I’m ready
If the good ones all die young
Then count me in as one
I’m going
You kick my life around
Gonna put me in the ground
I’m going
I’ll over dose on you door step
Park out side and get exhausted
It’ll look so good
I’m coming round later
I’m all yours
