Let Go 02:54
Let go and feel the pain. Let go, we’re all the same, so just let go. You sometimes win, you lose in the end. You sometimes win, we all lose in the end, so just let go. You’re sometimes fast, you’re sometimes slow. When the lights are green, then you have to go, so just let go. 1st verse repeated

The rain is falling, been falling all day long. Pounding its message, its message through my head. Ooooh it’s a long way home. Keep walking down this empty road, mmmm I’ll get there. I clear my mind, but my thoughts come back to you. I see you smile, the way you used to do. Ooooh it’s a long way home. Keep walking down this empty road, mmmm I’ll get there. The only moment we ever have is now. Must stop wishing, wishing I was somewhere else. Ooooh it’s a long way home. Keep walking down this empty road, mmmm I’ll get there. The rain is falling, been falling all day long. Pounding its message, its message through my head. Ooooh it’s a long way home. Keep walking down this empty road, mmmm mmmmmm we might get there.

I drink fair trade coffee and I eat line caught fish. I know the air miles of my aubergine before I put it in the fridge. Chorus I’m trying to do the right thing. It’s getting harder every day. There are so many choices. Please take some of them away! I got myself a bag for life, it lasted just four years. I was so disillusioned, it was bound to end in tears. Chorus I recycle all my rubbish, but it messes with my brain. To get it all in the right coloured bins is like some complicated game. Chorus If we could go back to the old days, it was so much simpler then. We had strawberries in the summer time, then they disappeared again. We wouldn’t mess it up this time. We’d give back what we took, but no matter how hard we try we can’t turn back the clock. So I drink fair trade coffee and I eat line caught fish. I know the air miles of my aubergine before I put it in the fridge. Chorus

On The Edge 02:23
If you’re standing on the edge and you feel too scared to move. If you’re standing on the edge yeah and you’re way too tired to move. Sit down on the ground, close your eyes and let the world come to you. I don’t know where you’re going and I don’t know where you’ve been. I don’t care where you’re going, don’t wanna know where you’ve been. The world that’s inside my head is the only thing I see. You and me are changing, we’ll never be the same. Well everything is changing, yeah nothing stays the same. Don’t even try to hold on but don’t push it away. So if you’re standing on the edge and you feel too scared to move. If you’re standing on the edge yeah and you’re way too tired to move. Sit down on the ground, close your eyes and let the world come to you.

The shadow of my house is long and deep. It’s where I spend my days, it’s where I sleep. I’m living in the shadows, living in the shadows. I’m living in the shadows of my life. Turn a light on for me, strong and bright. Turn a light on for me, and hold me tight, cos I’m, living in the shadows, living in the shadows. I’m living in the shadows of my life.

Black Crow 03:52
There’s a black crow in the branches looking down at me. They say that it’s a bad sign. Don’t know what it means, and the sun goes behind, behind a cloud. Chalk lines on the pavement wake me from my dreams. Soon they’ll be forgotten. Washed away by rain, and the sun and the rain, weave colours in the sky. A clock is ticking loudly, filling up my head. No one ever winds it, but it isn’t going to stop, and the earth moves around, around the sun. There’s a black crow in the branches looking down at me. They say that it’s a bad sign. Don’t know what it means, and the sun comes out, from behind a cloud.
7.
Pebbles 02:24
You and I are pebbles, pebbles in a stream, water flowing over us, wearing us down. You and I are wires twisted together, twisted ‘till we don’t even know who we are. You and I are wires twisted together long ago. You and I are branches, branches on a tree. The leaves have fallen off and now you see the spaces in-between. Yeah the spaces in between, is where it all seems to be, yeah. You and I are pebbles, pebbles in a stream, life is flowing over us, wearing us down, wearing us down, wearing us down.

The books we read, they shape our mind. Life is elsewhere while we’re eating fire. It’s a wild sheep chase. We can’t see the joke. This is the book of laughter and forgetting. Chorus And the world is full of ignorance, as we dance, dance, dance after dark. And the world is full of ignorance, as we dance, dance, dance, to the end of the world. I want to see behind the door. Truth is surfacing about life before man. It’s a wild sheep chase. We can’t see the joke. This is the song of laughter and forgetting. Chorus The books we read, they shape our mind. Life is elsewhere While we’re eating fire.

Spring Song 03:36
Oh the wind is blowing, yeah it’s blowing through my mind, and the blossom on the trees, it makes me feel alive. The world is full of choices and possibilities, but a big blank canvas can be a very scary thing. We move on parallel lines, they come together in the end. We carry on, oblivious, to the messages we send. Oh the wind is blowing, yeah it’s blowing through my mind. Don’t know where I’m going, so I’ll just take my time…..

Chorus This song isn’t true. Made it up just for you. Well people never lie and the sun will always shine. This song isn’t true. There’s a God up in the sky. You’ll go to heaven when you die. Every man should have a gun, every father, every son. There’s a God up in the sky. Chorus We haven’t messed up this world, still got time to turn it round. The air’s pollution free, there’s plenty more fish in the sea. We haven’t messed up this world. Chorus This is a happy song, makes you want to sing along. It’s good not to think and to drown yourself in drink. Yeah this is a happy song. Chorus
11.
As I sing the leaves are falling down, birds fly up high. A breeze blows all around me, dark clouds forming in the sky. As I sing a boy spins round in circles, a dog waits patiently. I feel the first chill of Autumn, but this is where I want to be. As I sing I hear a couple argue, a man puts out his cigarette. The song I really want to sing is one I haven’t written yet. As I sing the leaves are falling down, birds fly up high. A breeze blows all around me, dark clouds forming in the sky.
12.
The River 03:16
Chorus I’m going down to sit by the river. I’m going down to sit in the sun. Got all I want, don’t need no money, to sit by the river in the morning sun. When my head is full and my thoughts are spinning, need away to slow it down. Don’t wanna take no pills or potions. I know there’s a better way. Chorus I could turn on the television, watch the soaps ‘till my brain is washed. Fill myself with wine and whiskey. I know there’s a better way. Chorus If you’ve got nothing else to do, or even if you’ve got too much, forget your problems for a while. Leave it all and come with me, cos Chorus

You’re terrified of silence so you keep talking all the time. Can’t keep spinning plates forever, one day they’ve got to fall. But if we all get lost together we might not feel lost at all. You make your plans and they get broken, so you take one day at a time. Don’t know which way you’re going, just start walking anyway. But if we all get lost together we might not feel lost at all. You’re terrified of silence so you keep talking all the time. Can’t keep spinning plates forever, one day they've got to fall.

Balance 02:50
See the tides give and take, I try to take my time, I try to take my time. Feel the rhythm you’re alive. One man’s born another dies. The landscape’s changed, can’t find my way, are you waiting there for me? are you waiting there for me? Feel the rhythm you’re alive. One man’s born another dies. I talk to Jack into the night, but the night holds nothing new, no the night holds nothing new. Feel the rhythm you’re alive. One man’s born another dies. Dig a hole, something will fill it, my head’s still full of dreams, yeah my head’s still full of dreams. Feel the rhythm you’re alive. One man’s born another dies.

I’ve got a head, a head full of songs. A car park ticket tucked in my back pocket. The next four hours belong to me. I stroll on down the hill to the city below. I stop to rest on top of the bridge, let the feeling of the river flow into me. I see the young guys selling rides, they’re talking ‘bout what happened the night before. On past the cafes, they try to tempt me in, but I keep on walking, weaving through the crowds. I hear the sound of distant music and I know that favourite spot is gone. Yeah I’ve got a head, a head full of songs and I have found a place to sing them to you. La la la la la …..

Feels like I always sing the verse, but I want to sing the chorus. Don’t know which mirror tells the truth, so I look into them all. Why do we iron out the creases? I’m not playing anymore. The lights are shining in my eyes. Is anybody there?
