- Cry Baby
The very thing that's so outstanding
You never really know your worth
And finding heaven here on earth is hard I know
But if you never move your feet from standing
Then how you gonna make it work, but maybe given time
You'll learn in my heart you're gold
Why can't you be happy, just to be
- Darling Girl
I hear the voices
and how they spread throughout my town
can't be avoided
Don't want to bring you down
but girl the choices
and the actions that you choose are disappointing
And you know I know how much you hate to lose
- Fall To Sorrow
The walls around come down and they're crashing around me
And there's a taste in my mouth that feels like the bitter end
And if I get away from the pain and the voices that hound me
Well I'm not quite sure I've got the strength to start over again
But if I make it to the setting sun
Well I might have a story to tell before the day I'm gone
- Fat Cat
the alarm rings and i wake up at 8
just in time to have a fat cat down on my back
he's smiling, though my life aint that great
its surprising the things you do for money
one day ill be the boss of my own, in a, skyscraper, a tall blond secretary
till then, ill have to suffer alone with you good, good people, aint life rosey
Don't walk around like that
- History
Won't you please stop telling me
I know you're not so blind to see
That everything that was correct
Is wrong and I know that it ain't just me
But given half the chance to be near you
Would only make a start in a new decline
If I gave my heart a convincing listen
- Hometown Blues
Walk up down rundown avenues and back through swollen city veins
Now sobered up enough to understand that nothing stays the same
Overpopulated crowds you'd think I'd find a place that I'd
Attach myself upon somewhere I felt alive until I die
These hometown blues follow me home again
The closer I go I feel further away
- I Could Never Lie
She don’t know just what she does to me somewhere deep inside,
And its not right to leave her not feeling right.
And every time I have her close to me I know deep inside,
But sometimes its too hard for me to describe.
Tears in the morning what a way to start the day,
And it seems im good at making her sky grey.
And i've got the cure to cure it but its hard for me to say,
- Local Boy
Jimmy was a local boy but he?s seen much more than the change in the weather,
Sitting in a uniform of the three-piece suit and ribbons from his past,
Looking for a little boy at the bar with the mouth who thinks his clever now,
Dreaming of a day that he got home from a war to his childhood sweetheart.
Now he don?t need anyone, there?s no one there for him,
Just a feeling of an empty place deter eating,
His always been a local boy, but his seen much more than im bound to ever,
- No Love Lost
I try and be a man when it comes to her,
I see it as a lesson that every young mans gotta learn,
I know she ain't no more my concern,
Summat summat summat,
I ain't bitter, I don't want retribution,
I hope that she gets all that she wants out of life,
I know she's single and she's bound to get 'em down,
- Repeated Offender
Not one of my kind of people though that?s part of our lives
Not one of the type of things that I like to do with my time
And I don?t see and don?t believe he?ll ever get it right ?really?
Not one of my kind of people
dont want group aggrovation he?s always there on the case
Love is not your vocation but like to get in the face
Of everybody here who looks you up a funny way ?really?
- Robin Hood
One just one and then I'll go
Though it's on the cards that an argument it's imminent I know
But it's not like I'll get carried home
It's just that I believe that she don't think I think of her when I'm on my own so...
Don't think that I don't need
Our nights with the TV
- Rock The Boat - Beautiful Music
Play me a classic
Play me one of those that just don't get old
One from the past years
Not like the ones that we hear today on the radio
Some Pink Floyd or Hendrix,
Fabulous Four or the Rolling Stones
A little bit of Marley
- Romeo And Julie
Windy walks and days in bed
All our differences unsaid
Hand in hand we both entwine
Underneath a dreary grey skyline
And all we think about is that someday we might
Have more to think about and less time to decide
But if time is on our side then tell me why
- Science Is Violence
The days of old
And all the stories from our shores
Have gone away
I’m gonna return for evermore for
A brand new craze around that’s makin all the waves
It’s teachin you how not to act and how not to behave now
Tell me why should I
- She's Got Standards
If you're a new band breaking be aware cause she won't be far behind
But if you've got no airplay she won't care and you better move aside
She'll be down south top ten in her mouth in the blink of an eye
She'll be top draw on the backstage floor till the new band arrives
Ooh she's got standards but your call if your at twenty five
Ooh she's got standards till you put the twinkle in her eye
So you better cover up boy
- she's the only one
When my baby's lonely
When she's lost her smile
I call her up just to tell her that it's only gonna be for a while
She's my one and only
Only thing worthwhile
She lets me know I'm her fella and I'm never gonna leave her side
Ooh ooh ooh she's the only one (x3)
- Sleigh Ride
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
- Sometimes
So far away from me to see
When no relief is at the door terminally
I've no intention to sing a sad song
But everything I wanna say never felt so wrong
And every hour in my day feels like a week
Those days you find yourself in a place without a light...
Sometimes you might find you feel a little like
- Spend A Lifetime
As I walk up her street
I lift my head up and I face yer
You look good and you smell sweet
It makes it harder to embrace yer
If I was back in primary
In a playground I would chase yer
But I'm not, I'm just me
And though you might be what I'm looking for
- Spend Lifetime
As I walk up a street,
I lift my head up and I face you,
You look good, and you smell sweet,
It makes it harder to embrace you.
And I was back, in primary,
In a playground I would chase you,
But I'm not, I'm just me,
- Talking
Alone in accusations
Of all the things that I’ve heard
But still I have my reservations
Should I believe a word
Should I believe those things they talk about now you are not around?
Are the tales exaggerated and just play up for the crowd?
It’s there truth behind the fiction, it’s that really what you are?
- The Great Escape
Today could be the day you might make a change
Lock yourself indoors and plan a getaway
Take a walk outside in the heavy weather
The British Summer time's just great whatever
Join a local gang and get a cool nickname
Make your lifelong sweetheart your ball & chain
Convert your self belief for a new Religion
or leave the TV on and make a decision when you're
- Toerag
Walk out of the door and make my way up the street
Cold wind in my eyes runs a tear down my cheek
Not a soul to be heard so no point to complain
At least the sound of the birds compensates for the rain
Hit the queue for the bus and then join the line
Same faces for the last ten years of my life
See them more than my friends I couldn't tell you their names
Shattered glass on the floor the kids have run out of games
- Victoria
I used to live in hope
But now that's a place down memory road
Only our broken hearts alone
Remain in the towns that we used to know
The places that we knew
The baby's of boys and girls we grew
The rivers, the lanes and the avenues
Forever have changed now for me and you
- When I'm Alone
Everytime i catch your eye in the streetlight
Late at night when i walk you home
I hate to think that your not mine
So then ill try to make you feel i dont want you
I dont want to go down that road
we always get in a big fight
- Winter Calls
Winter calls when I'm alone and at the end of the day
Like any fool who'd been the owner to a pretty face
Now time it separates us to a different place
I'd be alright if I could only stop thinking
And if I'm happy cause you say you are I'd be lying
And if I said I was a man that don't need anyone at all
Then I know I was wrong
