Little Life
When all of this Makes the news Will they remember to tell it right Or will devils make off in the night Can you tell me why I got so high as As she lays in bed In her piece of ground Will they remember how Blessed soul Or just that she lost all control Can you tell me why she had to die alone And people wake up People get moving There’s a life waiting here Get up People...

Out Of Time
Where’s the love song? To set us free Too many people down Everything turning the wrong way around And I don’t know what love will be But if we start dreaming now Lord knows we’ll never leave the clouds And you’ve been so busy lately that you haven’t found the time To open up your mind And watch the world spinning gently out of time Feel the sunshine on your face...

Poem for a Little Lady
She’s young and soft and kind
And she deserves a whole lot better
than a guitar picking drifter
who never gave a damn.
And if loving me is all
she ever wants some gonna let her
And I’ve tried to be kind of man
She thinks I am.
She makes those little kitten sounds
and ( that ) trembles when I love her
she makes me feel so bad and strong in me
She whispers how she can not wait
to be my...

An Olive Grove Facing The Sea
Sworn to secrecy I might go after school She was an angel I saw her swimming there I am in such a mess I can’t cope without this She just teases me pretends she can’t see me here
So let me go out there I can breathe fresh air Stay with you all night Just let me love you Just for a while want to Be with you all night Be with you all night
Until I fall asleep Just let me be here I...

You oughta know
I went to your house I walked up the stairs I opened your door without ringing the bell I walked down the hall Into your room Where I could smell you, and I shouldn’t be here without permission I shouldn’t be here Would you forgive me love If I danced in your shower Would you forgive me love If I laid in your bed Would you forgive me love If I stayed all afternoon I took...
Human Nature
Looking out across the night-time The city winks a sleepless eye Hear her voice shake my window Sweet seducing sighs Get me out into the night-time Four walls won’t hold me tonight If this town is just an apple Then let me take a bite If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature Why, why does he do me that way? If they say, why, why? Tell ‘em that is human nature Why, why...

All Or Nothing At All
All or nothin’ at all Half a love never appealed to me If your heart, it never could yield to me Then I’d rather, rather have nothin’ at all I said all, nothin’ at all If it’s love, there ain’t no in-between Why begin then cry for somethin’ that might have been No I’d rather, rather have nothin’ at all Hey, please don’t bring your lips...
The Funeral
I’m coming up only to hold you under I’m coming up only to show you wrong And to know you is hard and we wonder To know you all wrong, we were Really too late to call, so we wait for Morning to wake you; it’s all we got To know me as hardly golden Is to know me all wrong, they were At every occasion I’ll be ready for a funeral At every occasion once more is called a funeral...

Come Up
What did you mean ‘there’s too many angels here’ is it the sweet ones that keep you here or did you mean that everyone you love is already gone, too early whatever you mean I came to mine and realized that it’s all fake but I love to dream and to feel everything come up, come up it’s so hard to love when you know how it goes come up, come up waves of...
If We Cannot See
You were born with a heart that can never be filled And a head like snow that can never be still There are streets paved in gold that shine so bright That you force yourself to look away If we can’t see now, we might never see We only kill ourselves more slowly If you can’t find love, then you will finally see How we kill ourselves slowly The words that fall from your mouth They...

Trash
Maybe, maybe it’s the clothes we wear, The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair, Maybe it’s our kookiness, Or maybe, maybe it’s our nowhere towns, Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds, Maybe it’s our looseness, But we’re trash, you and me, We’re the litter on the breeze, We’re the lovers on the streets, Just trash, me and you, It’s in...

Daughters Of The Soho Riots
I have your good clothes in the car So cut your hair so no one knows I have your dreams and your teeth marks And all my fingernails are painted I’m here to take you now You were right about the end It didn’t make a difference Everything I can remember I remember wrong How can anybody know How they got to be this way You must have known I’d do this someday Break my...

Fabled Angst Machine
Can I sing a song for you? Or maybe do a trick or two? Would you be afraid? Stay a while, you make me smile Don’t leave me here without someone Would you be afraid? Take out the fabled angst machine, and let me in Under the circumstances man, I’m not so keen Can I sing a song for you? Or maybe do a trick or two? Would you be the same? Stay a while, you make me smile Don’t leave...

All Or Nothing At All

Love is here
If you could see the lover in me And we could join our hands together If you could see how good it could be We’ll sing these stupid songs forever Can you feel it? Love is here It has never been so clear You can’t love what you have not So hold on to what you’ve got Is Judy really smiling for me? I’d change my name in case she found me Trembling I can’t...

The Build Up
The build up, Lasted for days, Lasted for weeks, Lasted too long.
Our hero withdrew, When there was two, He could not choose one, so there was none. Worn into the vaguely announced. Worn into the vaguely announced.
The spinning top, Made a sound, Like a train, Across the valley. Fading, Oh so quiet, But constant till it passed. Over the ridge, Into the distances written, On your ticket, To...
5 Verses
They met in a karaoke bar Jack was singing “Lola” in a long black wig The TV screen with the lines from the song Caught the reflection of a girl He caught her eye and he went wrong She laughed while he apologized. So they started talking to each other Mary’s friends listening from beyond And shaking their heads She had on half a smile as she looked away from him He was...
One More Robot, Sympathy 3000-21
Unit three thousand twenty one is warming Makes a humming sound - when its circuits Duplicate emotions - and a sense of coldness detaches As it tries to comfort your sadness - One more robot learns to be something more than A machine - when it tries the way it does - make it seem Like it can love - Cause it’s hard to say what’s real - when you know the Way you feel - is it wrong to...
Warning Sign
A warning sign, I missed the good part then I realized, I started looking and the bubble burst. I started looking for excuses. Come on in, I’ve gotta tell you what a state I’m in, I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones, That I started looking for a warning sign. When the truth is, I miss you. Yeah the truth is, That I miss you so. A warning sign, You came back to...
What Are You To Me
So many times i’ve overfloated So many faces come and go I played my cards into the sun and tried to work out What you are to me Been here before A million open doors Only one would set me free So i fought against the wall And tried to work out What you are to me, to me, to me, to me… To me…… Beside my eyes The answer lies Something i can’t see Another...
Shiver
So I look in your direction But you pay me no attention, do you? I know you don’t listen to me ‘Cos you say you see straight through me, don’t you? on and on From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep I’ll be there by your side; just you try and stop me I’ll be waiting in line, just to see if you care Oh… Did you want me to change? Well I’d change...
Shit Luck
This plane is definately crashing This boat is obviously sinking This building’s totally burning down And my, and my (a whole bunch) And my heart has slowly dried up
You know you're right
I will never bother you I will never promise to I will never follow you I will never bother you Never speak a word again I will crawl away for good I will move away from here You wont be afraid of fear No thought was put in to this I always knew it would come to this Things have never been so swell I have never failed to feel Pain [3x]

Try Again
I fell asleep on a late night train I missed my stop and I went round again Why would I wanna see you now? To fix it up, make it up somehow Baby I’ll try again, try again Baby I die every night, every time What I was isn’t what I am I’d change back but I don’t know if I can Still I’ll try, try again, try again Baby I die every night, every time But I was...
Separate Lives
You called me from the room in your hotel All full of romance for someone that you met And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon And that you miss me sometimes when you’re alone in your room Do I feel lonely too?
Well I held on to let you go And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show There was no way to compromise So now we’re living Separate lives.
This is for...
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight you’re mine completely You give you love so sweetly Tonight the light of love is in your eyes But will you love me tomorrow? Is this a lasting treasure Or just a moment’s pleasure? Can I believe the magic of your sighs? Will you still love me tomorrow? Tonight with words unspoken You say that I’m the only one But will my heart be broken When the night meets...
Oil and Water
You and… I are… like oil and water And we’ve been trying, trying, trying Oh… to mix it up.

Minor Thing
I change the key from C to D You see to me it’s just a minor thing, y’all He knows everything To readjust you’ve got to trust That all the fuss is just a minor thing, y’all He knows everything It’s just a minor thing And I’m a minor king He knows everything
When You're Gone
Hold on to love, that is what I do Now that I’ve found you And from above, everything’s stinking When they’re not around you And in the night, I could be helpless I could be lonely, sleeping without you And in the day, everything’s complex There’s nothing simple, when I’m not around you But I miss you when you’re gone That is what I do,...
Wish You Were Here
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you...
Staring At The Sun
I’m not the only one, Staring at the sun Afraid of what you’d find, If you took a look inside. Not just deaf and dumb, I’m staring at the sun, Not the only one, Who’s happy to go blind…

Every tear you shed is cleansing Taking the pain away from you I left you blueberries in the fridge The little things that I can do That I can do. That I can do. I need you to be strong for us So, toughen up Biko, toughen up Biko, toughen up
Drive You Home
It’s funny how Even now You still support me after all of the things that I’ve done You’re so good to me Waiting patiently And isn’t it sad that you still have to ask if I care?
