Alone I Stood 01:26
lyrics
buy track
As night descends upon the woods, I feel the cold brush pass my shoes and through the window Of the shack, A great pair of eyes stared back, They knew my face, They knew my case Alone I stood The trees still swayed And all at once my fear of love was gone, The wind spoke your name! Carried by the crying of the birds (Somebody woke me) (Somebody woke me) I was sleeping.

We Click 02:32
lyrics

cocoa leaves on an emerald isle will last a very pretty while and when you’re drifting off to sleep the world cannot control you, your purple dress, the soft caress of rain that tries to kiss you Sharps stares pierce the dark curled hairs of a man who sorely miss you But today the grey has soaked your long hair your make-up runs, the world’s a nightmare Softly falling like brown crooked leaves, they flicker in day’s dawning bright eyes and a pale blue sky await me in the morning Give a yawn and a strecth to the dawn to show that you’re still listening damp floors and a brown chest of drawers still great me without warning But today the grey has soaked your long hair your make-up runs, the world’s a nightmare Street lights glow bright through the night that flows along your tangles puddles form on the cobble stoned streets as colours fill the angles shadows dance with the aching of youth and the factories croak in the distance If I took you up all in my arms would there be any point in resistance

Isn't That The Way It Always Goes? 02:28
lyrics
buy track
Isn’t that the way it always goes the rich girl fragile as a rose when you’re falling when you’re falling Isn’t that the way it always seems you’ve found the woman of your dreams but you keep stalling you keep stalling You could never be a king cos’ you’ve never had to win when she’s waiting in your room And right now you feel so small stood outside the castle’s wall when she’s calling down to you They say leave it to a serf who’ll never know just what he’s worth until it’s far too late to tell Isn’t that the way it always goes?! Isn’t that the way it always goes the rich girl turning up her nose when you’re falling when she’s not calling Isn’t that the way it always seems you’ve found the woman of your dreams but you keep stalling you keep stalling You could never be a king cos’ you’ve never had to win when she’s waiting in your room And right now you feel so small stood outside the castle’s wall when she’s calling down to you They say leave it to a serf who’ll never know just what he’s worth until it’s far too late to tell Isn’t that the way it always goes?!

don’t wake me don’t wake me yet I think it’s better that I stay in bed cos I’m no use to you when my head is in a mess call me lazy when I try my best My sleepy eyes tell you I’m not impressed at the rain that’s leaking through our roof again I’ll hold you don’t wake me up I’ll hold you don’t wake me up you’d break me up Gonna treat you at coffee shop or cups of tea from my tabletop as the yellow lights play games with your pale green eyes don’t wake me don’t wake me yet I think it’s better that we stay in bed lemme prove to you that I love you more than linnen spreads I’ll hold you don’t wake me up I’ll hold you don’t wake me up you’d break me up

Better Than I Know Myself 01:35
lyrics

sunny little lady with the little green car and the little blue blouse she wears shady rainy day while the wind blows away all the leaves from your pretty red hair sometimes I know you better than I know myself someday I’ll show exactly what you mean to me all the things that they can’t see I don’t want to be alone everybody needs a home but a house is all I have you would be adored not neglected or ignored if you’d only give me a chance sometimes you know me better than you know yourself someday you’ll show me exactly how the green grass grows or the sound that the silent wind blows sunny little lady with the little red coat and the eyes like the emerald skies shady rainy day wash the cobwebs away from my sad and lonely life Sometimes I love you better than I love myself someway I’ll tell you exactly what I feel inside it’s a love I just can’t hide

When Winter Comes Around 02:04
lyrics

Loved you through summer and sure as fall comes around I’ll love you through autumn and when the ice comes to town When winter comes I’ve got my head in the clouds and I’m feeling down and my feet in the mud and it’s not your fault that I feel this way I’ve just been thinking maybe we should take a break, and maybe love’s just a big mistake to me it seems that it’s this way right now you don’t have to worry don’t fret and stress yourself out I’m here with you right now girl so how can there be a doubt When winter comes I’ve got my head in the clouds and I’m feeling down and my feet in the mud and it’s not your fault that I feel this way I’ve just been thinking maybe we should take a break, and maybe love’s just a big mistake to me it seems that it’s this way right now You could call it love dear call this just what you want I choose to call it love but the meaning’s not in the font

There's No Life Without Your Love 02:49

submarines and scuba divers at the shore wait in line to take my place when will I see you again I don’t know when you’re way out in the sea i Did some housework today dad sat and watched tele all day there’s no life without your love The heating doesn’t work anymore my girlfriend’s walking out of the door there’s no light without your love you really left at the wrong time dad insulting me in rhyme a poet of the vulgar sense every night is such a chore there’s no love here anymore and there’s no life without your love yesterday seems like a dream, the heater worked, the ktchen gleamed it’s just bad luck when you’re not round

I’m looking for a sign there’s none there looking for love but there’s none here my teeth freeze together my body is numb there Blood still keeps pumping nature keeps moving over a precipice I’m on my own there my jealousy unrelenting I keep on forgetting There’s nobody in my room I am alone. Don’t give up on love

Failure Song (Right Down The Spout) 03:36
lyrics
buy track
You’re a mess up and you’ll never be nothing gotta concentrate your mind on something Find a girl and hold her close bury your past with the rest fo these ghosts to find your way through this crazy world You should fess up to the things you’ve done try not to walk before you can run get a job and a life to match your suit release your anger on your leather boot and claim your stake in this crazy world Get a pistol and some mattress springs Floss your teeth with a guitar string Learn to live with less each day You can do it, you can find your way through this big and crazy world Did you just give up when your life got tough when did you claim to understand her love You’ll be alone in just a little while slipping away right down the spout Monday morning really hit you fast out of money and your out of gas rain plays games on your shattered glass find a reason why that love should last maybe she could take you back You’re woken up by a bang on the door she’s stood there with a face like civil war your defenses are down and your hopes are too One day you’ll find a way out of the zoo and into that wild old crazy world Did you just give up when your life got tough when did you claim to understand her love You’ll be alone in just a little while slipping away right down the spout

In The Headlights 02:55
lyrics

well you know people are strange I feel like a fox in the headlights as cars fly by on a freeway take it in and breathe your last breath everybody seems to have someone and that is why I’m feeling so undone Little me, self piteous lullaby I feel like a branch in an avalanche, a stone in the ocean, pathetically sinking Ain’t it great that I’ve still got my freedom living without any rhyme or reason

A Beautiful lady could catch your eye Just think of the girl that you’ll leave behind If you wanna keep her a by your side don’t guy play games with a woman’s pride He says I love you i love i love you i love you my lullubelle He said I love you i love you the stars shine above you and I Can tell A wonderful lady is hard to find especially one of the gentler kind a beautiful face can confuse your mind Just think of the girl that you’ll leave behind He says I love you i love i love you i love you my lullubelle He said I love you i love you the stars shine above you and I Can tell Life is so fragile and love is blind But love isn’t deaf so choose your words wise If you wanna keep her a by your side tell her love her and say goodnight
