Life Of Lies 04:12
It’s late at night, you’re all alone There’s a family waiting, you should be heading home But you’re still here, it doesn’t make no sense The loneliest hand, no change of circumstance So you take a deep breath and close your eyes Reconcile yourself to a life of lies The years roll by, and nothing’s changed Fight the same battles, feel the same pain But you’re still here, it doesn’t make no sense The loneliest hand, no change of circumstance So you take a deep breath and close your eyes Reconcile yourself to a life of lies What were you thinking of that Friday night Well if it made sense somehow Then maybe we can turn this dark into the light So you take a deep breath and close your eyes Reconcile yourself to a life of lies

Long Goodbye 03:39
I knew this day would come and you would soon be gone But I hoped it wouldn't hurt quite as much as it does You could never settle down and living in this town Would only hold you back and you know I get that It never was a question of if you would leave That's one thing I had always seen And I may not have said this often enough I'll always love you and I hope you know what that means? I walk into your room, see your empty chair It takes me by surprise tears are in my eyes You knew there'd come a time and somewhere down the line You would have to go, as if I didn't know? I'm not looking for sympathy That's one thing that's short on supply But I'm not adapting so easily I guess I wasn't ready to say Goodbye I see you in his arms falling for his charms I don't know what to think but it makes my heart sink You always used to cling, and that's the funny thing Cos ever since you've been gone it's been you who's been strong So now you get to move on with the rest of your life You try to tell me that you've grown I find it hard to let go that easily I wonder if you still wake up alone? Alone?

Breakdown 05:24
Shipping water badly, down so low I can’t see I’m falling, I’m falling there’s no light to guide me Slip into the void without you beside me Looks like I’m heading for a breakdown Look in through my window, see which way the wind blows Peeling off my skin one layer at a time You can see straight through me with the light behind me Someone stop me heading for a breakdown Do you understand too dear Are you living in the dark or living in fear? Wonder why I’m down here, wonder why you’re still here Holding onto me and you won’t let go Thank God I’ve got you one thing I know Without you I’m heading for a breakdown Sure as eggs is eggs I’m going to break down Do you understand too dear Are you living in the dark or living in fear? Do you understand too dear Are you living in the dark or living in fear? See the road in front of me stretch for miles I’ll put my foot right through the floor There’s only me I can take one bend at a time Shipping water badly, down so low I can’t see I’m falling, I’m falling there’s no light to guide me Slip into the void without you beside me Looks like I’m heading for a breakdown Someone stop me heading for a break down Do you understand too dear Are you living in the dark or living in fear? Do you understand too dear Are you living in the dark or living in fear? Do you understand too dear Are you living in the dark or living in fear?

Jenny's still got what it takes He's looking through a rose-tinted rear-view mirror And she doesn't recognise half the things he sees But there's no point in fighting when there's only one winner He's busy re-inventing their history She's the wrong side of forty and seen her share of life Been a daughter and a lover, a mother and a wife It's taken quite a while but she thinks she's found the answer To the question that's been nagging as she goes to sleep When she wakes up in the early hours, sees the shape beside her Consoles herself at least she's not unique Jenny's still got what it takes Sometimes she feels her life is over, she's sick of hearing words That undermine her confidence, suggest she has no worth And he's looking through a rose-tinted rear-view mirror And she doesn't recognise half the things he sees But there's no point in fighting when there's only one winner He's busy re-inventing their history Jenny's still got what it takes Woo hoo hoo hoo

Oh can you hear me, when I’m knocking I’m knock knock knocking on your front door Oh I’ve got something, oh I want to tell you Well maybe, maybe this time it’s for real But you told me lies (don’t you tell me lies) Then you waste my time (don’t you waste my time) So I’m saying goodbye, saying goodbye to you Bye bye to you The joke’s on you

Me and a friend I’ve known for years We head into town and had a few beers Did our best to put the world to rights Talked about this and we talked about that About people we knew and where they were at but It doesn’t seem to matter much anyway Coz there’s a storm blowing through this town It’s going to take you and me down Get your bags packed and meet me by the door Pack up your things and I’ll see you by the door Plant’s closing down now there’s no work round here People sleeping rough, resignation and fear I guess everyone has plans and sometimes Life gets in the way I don’t want to go but I know I’ve got to leave If I don’t get out now I’m going to find it hard to breathe I’m not the only one who feels this way Coz there’s a storm blowing through this town It’s going to take you and me down Get your bags packed and meet me by the door Pack up your things and I’ll see you by the door We should’ve seen this coming We could’ve seen the signs But there’s still time to rescue some sort of life Me and a friend I’ve known for years We head into town and had a few beers Did our best to put the world to rights

Thinkin' 02:55
Well I've been doing a lot of thinking Thinking about what I'm going to do And when I make up my mind The first person I tell will be you When the sun sets on the horizon And I'm still trying to find my way back home Don't you turn out the light Because I swore you'd never wake up alone Been a while since we head on this road together It's taken time but I think I've finally found the way Well I've been doing a lot of thinking Thinking about what I'm going to do And when I make up my mind The first person I tell will be you It's been a while since we head on this road together Taken time but I think I've finally found the way Cos I've been doing a lot of thinking Thinking about what I'm going to do And when I make up my mind The first person I tell will be you When I make up my mind The first person I tell will be you When I make up my mind The first person I tell will be you It's gonna be you

Girl 03:45
Do you want me to go, do you want me to stay Make up your mind, you can't have it both ways What do you want Girl You know I loved you once, I can love you again But once I head out the door, that'll be the end So what do you want Girl If you want love Or if you want somthing more If you want love Well if you want something more, not sure what you were hoping for But I can't give you that right now Do you want me to go, do you want me to stay Make up your mind, you can't have it both ways What do you want Girl You know you can believe What you want to believe In every situation that you perceive But what do you want Girl If you want love Or if you want my body baby If you want love Well I hope you don't want something more Not sure what you were hoping for But I can only give you what I've got right now Do you want me to go, do you want me to stay Well make up your mind, you can't have it both ways What do you want Girl So let me show you what I can do You know I loved you once, I can love you again But once I head out the door, that'll be the end So what do you want Girl If you want love Or if you want somthing more If you want love Well if you want something more, I don't know what you were hoping for But I can only give you what I've got right now

Whatever it takes to keep you smiling Whatever you need however much pain Whatever it takes I’ll keep providing Just as long as I’m the one you turn to To get you through the day When the rest of your life stretches out before you Like some journey you don’t want to start When you need to talk but there’s no-one to listen So you talk to yourself coz the one you’re missing Still holds the key to your heart When your heart is breaking And when you feel forsaken When you’re reaching for the door I’m going to pull you back for more So if you’re looking for salvation If you believe all hope is gone If you feel there’s no-on there for you You can call on me I’ll do all I can And you know my love is strong So please don’t feel you have to fly this solo We both know you’re not the only one You took a big chance and let it all go Now the friends so dear have all disappeared And there’s nowhere left to run When your heart is breaking And when you feel forsaken When you’re reaching for the door I’m going to pull you back for more So whatever it takes to keep you smiling Whatever you need however much pain Whatever it takes I’ll keep providing Just as long as I’m the one you turn to To get you through the day

I’m the human vulture, come to rob your grave Come to pick your bones clean You asked if I was happy, if I had all I need Well if it settles your mind and gives you peace But if I’m honest then it hurts Oh if I’m honest then it hurts Beware the human vulture, come to rob your grave He’s picking over the remains of the day He’ll leave no drawer empty nor leave no stone unturned He’ll just smile and ease you on your way And if I’m honest then it hurts Yeah if I’m honest then it hurts There’s a pain inside I’ve been the human vulture, but only coz you called And your stoic grace still moves me now But when you said you were leaving And you were going to fade away Tell me what gives you the right to die here? Coz if I’m honest then it hurts Oh if I’m honest then it hurts Oh God it hurts If I’m honest then it hurts Oh if I’m honest then it hurts and I know The pain’ll never fade away

about

West Coast Music Club West Kirby, UK

West Coast Music Club are based on The Wirral, about as far west as you can go in the UK without getting wet. Influenced equally by our proximity to Liverpool and our distance from late 60's California, it is guitar music, in all its forms, that directs the sound of WCMC in pursuit of the perfect song. We hope you enjoy the trip. ... more
