- A New Heart
I’ve been asked to write a song without a swear word or a slight
At myself or another, for my mother for my bride
A song that’ll shine on my kids and theirs to come
Something that’ll love them and watch over when I’m gone
To my ward, to my wheel-chair, to my runner’s-up drip
Will you push me will you pull when I’m too fat to see my…
Didn’t I always tell you I’d stay for 2000 years?
You’d better hope that science fiction doesn’t have good ears
- Autumn
Ah, Autumn
You fucking cunt
Keep bringing me memories that I dinnae want
How come you do it to me every time
Cold recollection of all my crimes
It’s when I’m carefree that you like to travel
Swing round in front of me and grab my lapel
You’re warm greeting is as cold as mine
- Cold Winter
I'm too cold to be alone this winter, I'm too old to be alone
I just want to hold you this winter, I know you get so cold
I just want to call you this winter
Where are you tonight? Why aren't you here? You should be looking after me this winter, I sure as hell can't
Behind everything I do stares the cold truth I don't have you
I still love you, I must be the world's biggest fool
Everyday I wish you weren't so braw coz I miss you
How am I supposed to unmake the world's biggest mistake
- Fight Like the Night
You can be my hero
By not letting me down
Not letting me down again and being around
You can be my hero
By crawling into the rut
Crawling into the rut with me and holding my chin up
- Four Cigarettes
you are the end, you are the light,
you are the reason I'm up late tonight
I think about you sleeping with your legs on my side
of the bed and you're dreaming putting up a fight
against the world and what we know is right
we'll break away somehow I'll be running at your side
- Fuck It, I Love You
There’s a boxfull of showergels I’ve left around the world
In the toilets and bathrooms I’ve been
Chips of my youth fallen off along the way
I’ve been a long time falling down.
Fuck it I love you, there you go
Three little words on a mobile phone
When are you coming home?
- Love Comes In Waves
Love, love, love comes in waves
I want you to love me as much as I love you,
and you do.
Then you don't.
Then you do.
Then you don't.
Then you do.
- Solemn Thirsty
You go your way and I’ll go mine
I’ll try to meet you in a better life
We should meet up at the end of time
Get a beer and a cigarette for Auld Lang Syne
Was it just a dream? All those people
None of this is real
A kingdom for a fool animals on a wheel
I’m a king in my head a cripple in the world
