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

The Joke's On You
02:04
|
|||
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
04:24
|
|||
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
05:47
|

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

Human Vulture
03:17
|

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
