Deadbeat
03:50
|
|||
Walked out on a deadbeat of a day
once again he was the last to get away
Caught a glimpse of his reflection in the rain
Lost sight on days he thought were here to stay
Settled down and built a story of his own
Took the chances that he needed to get on
Then at once, the ground it started to give way
and the cracks grew bigger, deeper day by day
Looked in no time to run away
looking back see faces as they slip away
Walls are crumbling and no one stays the same
no use believing that this place will ever change
Falling through a roof that time had left alone
empty houses stands where once there was a home
the storm has passed, but the problem still remain
he keeps on moving while others loose their way
Feel a sting from the words already said
some quite moments spent before he lost the thread
once again he sees his shadow in the rain
a brand new face and the start of a new day.
Looked in no time to run away
looking back at faces as they slip away
Walls are crumbling and no one stays the same
no use believing that this place will never change

Secret World
03:20
|
|||
Last of the tabloid kings
flashing around in your golds chains and cars
The end of the party queens
fallen and faded your friends start to leave
The reign of the post-war dream
broken and lost as it's hopes turn to dust
and too many magazines
feeding and fueling this money machine
So take the first road out
you're such a simple soul
i've heard it all before
you're such a simple soul
When work is so hard to find
privilege and wealth are the keys to the door
meritocracy is no more
your school tie is all that you seem to applaud
Now news papers make the law
in coulombs where no one is held to account
so lay down your poisoned pens
your moment has passed and the readers has gone
So take the first road out
you're such a simple soul
i've heard it all before
you're such a simple soul
Trow off the corporate chains
bulldoze the sprawl that's surrounding our towns
Bury the last remains
and sing out the songs we've forgotten and lost

The Raven
03:11
|
|||
The raven soars over the mountain
finding it's way to the sea.
Clearing a path before her and
calling out for me.
Seeking a door in the shadow
guiding me safe though the dark.
Touching a light in the distance
calling out for me.
Hearing a song through the storm could
playing a new melody.
Moving to close to the fire that's
calling out for me.

Last of the speed-boat kings
flashing around in your golds chains and cars
The end of the tabloid queens
fallen and faded your friends start to leave
The reign of the post-war dream
broken and lost as it's hopes turn to dust
and too many magazines
feeding and fueling this money machine
So take the first road out
you're such a simple soul
i've heard it all before
you're such a simple soul
When work is so hard to find
privilege and wealth are the keys to the door
meritocracy is no more
your school tie is all that you seem to applaud
Now news papers make the law
in coulombs where no one is held to account
so lay down your poisoned pens
your moment has passed and the readers has gone
So take the first road out
you're such a simple soul

you're such a simple soul

Bury the last remains
and sing out the songs we've forgotten and lost

The Station
03:10
|

Let me know what day it is
let me know if it to late
all the time has slipped away
such an awful waist
let me know what day it it
meet me by the station with the keys to your door
take me to the river like we used to do before
Well once I was on top
I laid out the table cloth
I had all my friends to stay
and hid it all away
once I was on top
meet me by the station with the keys to your door
take me through the river like we used to do before
up at six each day
trying hard to make it pay
having treatment for my ills
relying on the pills
up at six each day
meet me by the station with the keys to your door
take me through the river like we used to do before
now it is fifteen years to late
drinking whiskey every day
then again I see your gaze
laughing in my face
fifteen years to late
meet me by the river with the keys to your door
take me through the water like we did the year before

Breathe
03:19
|
|||
Hearing a crowd out in the street
watching the trees burst into life.
Marching closer, closer to me
feeling the sun high in the sky.
Run footsteps are coming.
Run hide it away.
Burning bridges that stand in their way
breath in the clouds high in the sky.
People running further each day
sensing the flowers burst into life.
Run footsteps are coming.
Run hide it away
Empty streets echoes with fire
bringing death back into life.
Fighting is over who are the winners
breathing hope back into life.

There's My Love
03:25
|

There's my love down in the orchard
oh how I wish that I was there
there's the house and there's the barn
there's the stable door open
There's the long branched oak
with a green and pleasant look
i'll wait in it's shade
till my love comes, my love comes
there's the harp there's the strings
who am I with no one to play
there's the lively, careful maid
how long till I can win her
There's my love down in the orchard
oh how I wish that I was there
there's the house and there's the barn
there's the stable door open

From The Cold
03:02
|
|||
You came in from the cold, left standing on your own
Watching from the side not joining in at all.
Into the room, Into the room,
like what you see, want what you see.
Knowing what you know, not seeing anything
hearing what you want not learning anything.
The tragedy is yours, there is no one there to blame
all the time all the time.
You don't waste your time, you only just waste mine
never take your turn, you always jump the line.
Into the room, Into the room,
like what you see, want what you see.
Knowing what you know, not seeing anything
hearing what you want not learning anything.
The tragedy is yours, there is no one there to blame
all the time all the time.
Don't have to fight, cause think you're always right
but just remember it's not me who's lost tonight.
Into the room, Into the room,
like what you see, want what you see
Knowing what you know, not seeing anything
hearing what you want not learning anything.
The tragedy is yours, there is no one there to blame
all the time all the time.
