Fanclub Favourite

Saw your band on the Tube one night
Fell in love so we jumped aboard for the ride
Caught you live
Read about you in a magazine
Bought the album you were part of the scene for a while
Til it died
We stuck it out for several years
Then it felt like you disappeared
We can’t forget the joy that we felt
You soundtracked our lives don’t you know what you meant
You’re still our favourite though you never really made it
We’re part of your fanclub
Going through a bunch of things today
Found a mixtape with two tracks of yours took me back
All the way
Looked you up, found you’re still around
Nostalgia circuit has you touring town to town
Checked it out
The lights went down and the stage was cleared
And all those years just disappeared
We’ll never forget the joy that we felt
You soundtracked our lives don’t you know what you meant
You’re still our favourite though you never really made it
We’re part of your fanclub
Your star might have faded, you never really made it
We’re still part of your fanclub
Part of your fanclub

Faded Scrapbook

Faded scrapbook turn the page, set about reflecting
Dreams may come and dreams may go and time’s forever passing
Around the corner something new no certainty of lasting
If you lie awake at night and sleep won’t come for wondering
It’s not about what you have it’ not about what you’ve lost
If you’re living in the past or facing up to the cost
If you lie awake at night and sleep won’t come for wondering
If you’re frightened of the truth you know you’re not alone
The things we do when we are young define the people we become
Things done unto leave their mark, damage us and kill the spark
If you lie awake at night and sleep won’t come for wondering
If you’re frightened of the truth you know you’re not alone
Face down and there’s no turning round
See the ship that never sailed, see the plane still grounded
Put them all back in a box all hopes and dreams unfounded
If you lie awake at night and sleep won’t come for wondering
If you’re frightened of the truth you know you’re not alone
Faded scrapbook, turn the page

If You Only Knew
04:09

Long before the light went out I should’ve seen the darkness come
But like the Summer evenings, I didn’t miss you ‘til you’d gone
For me it was the first time, guess you’d seen it all before
Now I can’t help but be reminded of you
As time passes the pain’ll fade, I hope the lessons never will
‘cos it’s the good times I want to last, why can’t I see beyond the past and still
If I regret anything at all it’s that my memories are coloured by this
Guess that’s my fate and it’s all thanks to you
You took my heart when I least expected it
It’s true, if you only knew what you’d done to me
Every relationship I’ve gone on to have was impacted by what you did
Though it’s an age ago and I was naïve I’ll always believe that I was misled
For me it was the first time, and then you’d seen it so many times before
Now I can’t help but be reminded of you
You took my heart when I least expected it
It’s true, if you only knew what you’d done to me
If you only knew, it’s never me it’s only you
If you only knew, never me it’s always you
If only that were true

Here It Comes Again
04:12

Here it comes again, creeping up on me
How did I get here? Another night of fear
Here it comes again
Here it comes again, it’s dragging me down
And how hard I fight, reaching out for the light
Here it comes again
It’s not as if this is the first time and I know
I’ll be down this way again
If I could only find a way to reach out
Don’t let this be the bitter end
Here it comes again, like a tidal wave
Stormy days ahead, is it all in my head
Here it comes again
I’d love to say that I have reached a better place
And this is welcomed as a friend
If I could only find a way to break out
Waiting for it all to end
Here it comes again, and there’s nowhere to hide
Though my faith is pretend please God make it end
Here it comes again
I know you could say I embrace this now
Sometimes it’s easier to wear the scars
Than ignore the way that I feel today
Here it comes again, creeping up on me
Another night of fear, how did I get here
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

Hotel California
04:56

The sun had burnt me raw
But your touch was cool upon my skin
The DJ played Hotel California
You were dressed in white
An angel with a tan, radiant, radiant and devine
I asked you if you knew what ‘Tiffany-twisted’ meant
Or what ‘colitas’ were, you smiled and said ‘ Who cares?
This song is beautiful, kiss me, kiss me make you mine.’
The DJ played Hotel California
This song is beautiful, make you mine
The sun had burnt me raw but your touch was cool upon my skin
It was the night that Elvis died
Now you are always on my mind
And angel with a tan, radiant and devine
And angel with a tan, radiant and devine
The DJ played Hotel California

The View From Here
04:05

Sitting on a hillside, swallowing my pride
I wanted to explain to you
You wouldn’t listen to me, you just looked straight through me
You didn’t want to know how I felt inside
I wrote you a letter, cos I thought it’d make things better
But you ignored it anyway
So guilty I sit thinking, or with my friends I’m drinking
And it’s too late to say I’m sorry now
It’s too late, far too late, it’s true
I was young though that’s no excuse
And you just walked away feeling you’d been used
Sitting on a hillside, swallowing my pride
Wanting to explain to you
You never listen to me, cos you can see straight through me
You never want to know how I feel inside
It’s true, I was young though that’s no excuse
And you just walked away feeling you’d been used

Now Or Never
04:22

Like a moth drawn to a flame, I was tempted to sin
You had me dangling on a line, slowly pulling me in
I feel the fire burn deep inside, know there’s nowhere I can hide
You hold me a close and I know
It’s now or never
You wouldn’t listen when I tried to tell you, got the impression you don’t want to know
Now I’m staring in those eyes, I can’t disguise, I’m trying to let you go
I feel the fire burn deep inside, know there’s nowhere I can hide
Hold you close and I know
It’s now or never
I’ve been waiting for oh so long, just biding my time
Maybe I was searching for some kind of perfection but now
It’s now or never
Good God
Like a moth drawn to a flame, burning deep within
Temptation fuels desire, guilt the fruit of forbidden sin
I feel the fire burn deep inside, know there’s nowhere I can hide
You hold me a close and I know
It’s now or never
I feel the fire burn deep inside, know there’s nowhere I can hide
You hold me a close and I know
It’s now or never
I hold you close and I know
It’s now or never

Serendipity
03:19
|
|||
Trapped behind steep emotional walls
My conscience calls but no-ones listening
I want to close my mind to what it takes
Make no more mistakes
This time it’s going to be
Serendipity, serendipity
We were going strong and now something’s going wrong
It’s not going to take much longer
Don’t know which way this is going to end
But listen here my friend
End it definitely will
There’s a line been drawn
And all patience worn
So enough’s enough, let common sense prevail
Serendipity, serendipity
We were going strong and now something’s going wrong
It’s not going to take much longer
Bitter taste, deceit, disgrace no victory
In fractured form, all senses worn
In sound, in smell, a living hell
To touch, to taste, I see
Serendipity, serendipity
We were going strong and now something’s going wrong
It’s not going to take much longer
Far as I can see

White Seersucker

I love that coat, the one you wear
When you know you’re going somewhere that really matters
Like you did tonight
I love the way you hold your hands, I love the way you say you understand
Though you’re dreams were shattered
Like they were tonight
I can’t pretend to know what’s going on inside your head
It seems from here you keep going round and round
Round and round until your world gets turned upside down
You don’t care how much it hurts
As long as you can show the works
In seersucker
I see your picture everywhere, you always smile like you don’t care
So that’s alright
Cos the camera don’t lie
And what goes on behind closed doors, that’s not for me that’s only yours
And if I have to ask
Then you’ll only deny
I can’t pretend to know what’s going on inside your head
It seems from here you keep going round and round
Round and round until your world gets turned upside down
You don’t care how much it hurts
As long as you can show the works
In seersucker

Ouija Doll
04:15

She’s got a little Ouija doll, she takes it out whenever you call
One more pin she’s sticking in to stop you
And every time she hears your name, she takes it out again and again
It’s one more pin, just one more pin might stop, stop, stop you
She’s got a little Ouija doll, sees your face and her skin crawls
One more pin, just one more pin might stop you
She’s got a little Ouija doll, she took a hit, she’s seen it all
One more pin, just one more pin, might stop, stop, stop you
You thought she was surprised to see you
Believed you’d caught her unawares
You went I for the kill the prey trapped in the snare
You’d think she was surprised to see him
You’d think she’d been caught unawares
He doesn’t know she’s found a way to keep him out of there
She’s got a little Ouija doll
