Trouble On Me
03:12
|
|||
|
The sun don’t shine in the sky just for you
The rain don’t fall on the ground just to soak you through
The world don’t turn around just to spin your head
And everybody wants to be somebody else instead
You gotta lay down your trouble on me
You gotta lay down your trouble on me
Don’t trust everything you hear is true
And don’t believe you’ll know what you must do
Keep your nerve until the crowds have fled
The thing you think you want to hear is not the word that’s said
You gotta lay down your trouble on me
You gotta lay down your trouble on me
You gotta lay down your trouble on me
You gotta lay down your trouble on me

Your Special Day
02:52
|
|||
|
When I’m down and I need reassuring
And I can’t seem to make things go right
You are the person who’s there when I’m falling into despair
You try to be there
When my plans make a mockery of living
And there seems to be no real way out
Even though problems of your own are bearing down upon you
You pull us all through
And I don’t doubt you for a minute
I’m pretty sure that we will make it through
You’re the kindest friend someone could wish for
And in my way, I’m glad that this is your special day
And I wish you lots of happiness on this day
When I’m lost and I need a direction
And I’m not sure which way to turn
You make it easy to see where I’m heading
Where I should go you always know
And I don’t doubt you for a minute
I’m pretty sure that we will make it through
You’re the kindest friend someone could wish for
And in my way, I’m glad that this is your special day
And I wish you lots of happiness
And I don’t doubt you for a minute
I’m pretty sure that we will make it through
You’re the kindest friend someone could wish for
And in my way, I’m glad that this is your special day
And I wish you lots of happiness on this day

Short Tall Big Small
03:32

He was a short man
He had a big crush
She was a tall girl
With a head rush
But he was lazy
He didn’t do much
She drove him crazy
She took her clothes off
Everybody talked about the way you have to elevate the meaningless
Gathering of the nation waiting for the last ovation in their evening dress
Standing in an elevator tying a propeller to each others chest
A perfect way to end a day there’s nothing to extrapolate or have to guess
He was a small man
She was a big girl
He gave her neck ache
She made his head whirl
She wore a short skirt
She had a long leg
Well he was wide eyed
But he won’t beg
They were both victims of their circumstance
He looked at her she took a second glance
He reached up to her and she held his hand
He stood on her feet so that they could dance
Everybody talked about the way you have to elevate the meaningless
Gathering of the nation waiting for the last ovation in their evening dress
Standing in an elevator tying a propeller to each others chest
A perfect way to end a day there’s nothing to extrapolate or have to guess
He was a short man
He had a big crush
She was a tall girl
It made her head rush
But he was lazy
He didn’t do much
She drove him crazy
She took her clothes off

Crossed That Line
03:47
|

|
I’m not gonna be the one
To help you back when you have gone
You know where the door is get your coat
And I’m not gonna be the one
To ask you where it all went wrong
Words of truth just get stuck in your throat
And I’m not gonna waste my time arguing about who’s right
I don’t care who you think’s gotta pay
I’m sick of listening to it all, I’ve seen the writing on your wall
Time is up I’m calling it a day
Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should
You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would
Cos did you ever take the time
To stop and think before you crossed that line
I don’t care for things you say
It makes no difference anyway
You would never say it to my face
You go to leave but always stay
And live to fight another day
Well you know I don’t have this time to waste
Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should
You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would
Cos did you ever take the time
To stop and think before you crossed that line
Well I’m not gonna be the one
To come back crawling when it’s done
You know I got better things to do
So shoot your mouth off load that gun
Take your best shot now I’m gone
Nothing really matters now we’re through
Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should
You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would
Cos did you ever take the time
Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should
You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would
Cos did you ever take the time
To stop and think before you crossed that line

All That Remains
02:25
|
|||
|
All that remains is a bonfire of freedom
And all that remains are the ashes of love
All that remains is the space in between us
And all that remains is the sky up above
There’s a whisper in the wind a memory of a world that died
All that remains is a bonfire of freedom
And all that remains Are the ashes of love
There’s a whisper in the wind a memory of a world that died
All that remains are the chains in the forest
And all that remains is the dust on the ground
All that remains is the turn of a planet
And all that remains is the silence of sound

Everything To Me
02:20
|

|
There’s something about the way you look at me
That makes me feel right, makes me complete
There’s something about you and it’s plain to see
That you mean everything to me yeah
There’s something about the way you look at me
There’s something about the way you’re holding me
That brings me to life, makes me feel free
It’s something about no one could disagree
Cos you mean everything to me yeah
There’s something about the way you’re holding me
Me and you we always had a love right from the start
And even after all this time our love is stronger now than that
There’s something about the way you’re loving me
That makes it so right, makes it so real
There’s something about you and the world can see
That you mean everything to me yeah
There’s something about the way you’re loving me

Dust And Bone
02:37
|

When all that’s left is dust and bone
It’s too late to regret the song
You never wrote while time played on your hands
Before it’s too late celebrate
The memories of your life won’t wait
They slip through your fingers like elusive grains of sand
From the moment when you’re young
To the autumn days that come
Live a life of passion not regret
When you face a setting sun
Embrace the things you’ve done
Cos in the end the song you sing
Is timeless beyond everything
When all that’s left are paper trails
And handed down forgotten tales
A photograph to illustrate the scene
Show the future how you feel
Leave a word to help it heal
Write the song inside of you to show where you have been
From the moment when you’re young
To the autumn days that come
Live a life of passion not regret
When you face a setting sun
Embrace the things you’ve done
Cos in the end the song you sing
Is timeless beyond everything
From the moment that you start
To the winter days of dark
Live a life that no one will forget
When you take the curtain call
And it’s time to let it fall
Remember that the song you’ve sung
Is timeless even when you’re gone
When all that’s left is dust and bone
It’s too late to regret the song
You never wrote while time played on your hands

In The Sun
02:10
|
|||
|
It took some time but eventually turned out right
As many things often do
So I’ll lay in the sun
And let all my thoughts be of you
You opened my eyes now I see that love is right
Nothing is wrong when you’re by my side
So while you travel on
I’ll still be waiting in the sun
Farewell my love I await your return
Until you do I’ll be waiting here in the sun
With love in my heart but my head’s in my hands
So come back soon
I’ll be waiting here for you with all my love
I’ve got little time to write my love in rhyme
I’ve got so many things to do
But I’ll lay here awhile longer in the sun
Thinking of you
Yes I’ll lay here awhile longer in the sun
Thinking of you

In the diamond rain with the dancing fog inside your brain
And Nicky it’s such a twist again
Washed up on the morning’s plain
Just another coffee please and one more cigarette
Don’t hang around now all of your crowds have gone home
There’s just cosy Rose who’s blowing her nose all alone
In the diamond rain
In the diamond rain as you stand and you wait for the mainline train
And Nicky is it still the same old game
Remember the faces but none of their names
Just another coffee please and one more cigarette
Don’t hang around now all of your crowds have gone home
There’s just cosy Rose who’s blowing her nose all alone
In the diamond rain
In the diamond rain
And in the diamond rain your mind it is screaming in luminous flames
And Nicky ain’t it such a shame
When you find that the vultures have got you again
Just another coffee please and one more cigarette
But don’t hang around now all of your crowds have gone home
There’s just cosy Rose who’s blowing her nose all alone
In the diamond rain
In the diamond rain
In the diamond rain
In the diamond rain

There’s a light in the sky and it’s telling the time
And it’s time to get up and get on with the day
There’s a look in your eyes and it’s telling me why
Why I should tarry and not rush away
I woke up this morning
Well that’s what the blues say
I woke up this morning
And I knew in my heart I’d stay
There’s rain on the glass but the storm it has passed
And the day is so bright the sky is so blue
There’s a joy in your eyes as I wake up to find
I’m not in a dream I’m still here with you
I woke up this morning
Well that’s what the blues say
I woke up this morning
And I knew, well you know…
I woke up this morning
Well that’s what the blues say
I woke up this morning
And I knew in my heart I’d stay
There’s a light in the sky and it’s telling the time
And it’s time to get up and get on with the day
There’s a look in your eyes and it’s telling me why
Why I should tarry and not rush away
I woke up this morning
I woke up this morning

Mischief Blues
03:39
|
|||
|
I don’t speak your language
But we get along fine
You offered to teach me
But you just laughed when I tried
The face of an angel
But I can see by your eyes
You’ve a heart full of mischief
Beating down deep inside
We talked about drinking
Late into the night
You spoke in Italian
Yeah I was impressed by that
We skirted around
Until we got to the crunch
You asked me for breakfast
And I stayed to lunch, the next day
You can’t beat the system
So just go with the flow
You’re so sweet little sister
That it worry’s me so
But I’ll be back this evening
And if you’re deceiving me I’ll know
You’ve a heartfelt of mischief
But I just can’t leave you alone
