Hey! Goodbye!

Verse:
If every lie was hidden but every truth was told.
I know we'd keep it secret until we we're grey and old.
As every person passes, another gets replaced.
I guess there's always something better but I didn't want to say.
Chorus:
Hey! You told me goodbye.
Hey! You told me goodbye.
Hey! You said that you would see me again,
but I know now that was a lie.
Verse:
Behind each person there's a soul thats to be made
and joined up to another, i'll find mine on day.
Chorus.
Verse:
The blossom tress are all around me.
I'm surrounded by them in the park.
All the lights are on at home again
but it never seems to get dark.
Chorus.

A Common Place of Sense
04:44
|
|||
|
Verse:
Rusted nails in the carpet ends, growing from the surface, hide a piece there fears.
Staring down at the dew on the walls window views, they turn and disappear.
Anticipating words and praying that they'll come.
Given host with no meaning, type written through the tongue.
Pre-Chorus:
Sense wont make itself when it doesnt have to.
The thoughts will master in each that it wants to.
Chorus:
For ups, downs and side arounds.
For ups, downs and side arounds.
Verse:
Tapping on the window sill , waiting time for it to come, waiting for time to fall.
Told the difference it matters for preventing the cling and clatter and knowing the stories tall.
The empty taste of light from under the old oak door,
Shining on the Polaroid, details emerge to more.
Chrous...
Verse:
The control is never there, falling hard through the split between the clouds.
The clouding judgment and the sentiment when lost in... the broken down crowds.
Chrous.

Summer Song
03:58
|
|||
|
Verse:
Time goes by but you never realise
Until it's gone and you're still holding on, but is it too late?
Take your time, decide this on your conscience
Take it as it comes but dont leave it too long... to be with me.
Side by side, joining at the waistline.
I'll step in your shoes and i'll walk back with you, you can guide me home.
Chorus:
All those people there, yeah I was lost, I was lonley I was scared.
It's not that I didnt care, I just needed something I just needed someone to be there.
Verse:
Face to face, your smiling makes me happy.
Like a yellow bird singing so hard to be heard by another one.
Leaf by leaf the Autumns softly falling.
It coats the summer grass, I knew it wouldnt last, but it's come too soon.
Chorus.
Verse:
From chord to chord the words flow like ivy.
Up an aged old tree, an endless stream of melodies...will you write one for me?

Window Tree
04:58
|
|||
|
Verse:
Window bay side, I sit and watch you wilt.
It's a sad or happy day for emotions kept or spilt.
Sheltered from my life, starved from wet and cold.
A dried piece of clay towards the shapes that I can't mould.
Chorus:
Keep standing up, up right strong
For all your verbs, your living long.
Verse:
Unseen to my touch, you drop them one by one.
This art is not a science when the dry cracks come undone.
Build up all my views that a held eye wont be.
Encouraging myself I want to live by the sea.
Chorus:
Keep standing up, up right strong
For all your verbs, your living long.
I'll melt to you again and i'll melt with you again
and we'll sing, sing, sing to fall the rain.
Verse:
Narrate me to your tales, from a day long ago
Sit with me my song I will gift to you my show.
Dont think your giving less now there is less for your drop.
Nature will stand by you although damned she'll never stop.
Chorus:
Keep standing up, up right strong
For all your verbs, your living long.
I'll melt to you again and i'll melt with you again
and we'll sing, sing, sing to fall the rain.
Declare to me your will and grow another day
Grow frail with love and I will stay.

If I
03:00
|
|||
|
Verse:
If I couldn't walk that far, could I stand upon your feet and jump up to the furthest star?
If I couldn't stand up straight, would tie me like a scarecrow fastened tightly to the steak?
If I couldn't see at night would you tie the moon onto my wrist to guide me with its light?
Chorus:
It's the simplest words to say for a random generated worry.
Too important all alone for the meanings that it can carry.
La la la la don't lay down answers that ease up in my mind. Only if... is this the oddity to assist the unwind?
Verse:
If I didn't dream at all, would you give me ones to dream about through days that were so short?
If I didn't write these words, would you sing from empty papers with no song for you to learn?
Chorus:
It's the simplest words to say for a random generated worry.
Too important all alone for the meanings that it can carry.
La la la la don't lay down answers that ease up in my mind. Only if... is this the oddity to assist the unwind?
One word a thousand verses for ever to be unwritten.
Passing over takes time and the feeling is over written.
Chorus:
It's the simplest words to say for a random generated worry.
Too important all alone for the meanings that it can carry.
La la la la don't lay down answers that ease up in my mind. Only if... is this the oddity to assist the unwind?

I Don't Mind
03:10
|
|||
|
Verse:
What will it take to realise?
People are loosing interest, I can see it in their eyes
and the truths slowing fading and it's no surprise.
Problems are unveiling all it takes is time and...
Chorus
I dont mind
Secrets are for keeping but i'll know next time.
And you will still be gone...
Verse:
Should I believe in all i've been told, or are they all made up phrases just to gain some controll?
I don'd know and I can't decide.
The fire is burning but it's still cold inside and...
Chorus:
I don't mind
This place is slowly sinking it will be gone in time
and there will be nothing left that remains.
Verse:
The streets are all empty, there's no one around.
Just remainders from the night before and broken glass on the ground.
The days are relating, they blend into one
The winter nights are longer now and i'm sleeping with the sun and...
Chorus:
I don't mind,
These photographs are memories just images of time
That we can choose not to forget.

Plain Park Signs
04:19
|
|||
|
Verse:
Hear my fall to the ground
weakened will to depart
stood at rest until dry then the wind breaks apart.
You help me up into the tree
so I fall just to learn
I'm on a walk with your flame where I crawl... just to burn.
Chorus:
Can you tell with your dreams, oh your heart is asleep?
Take my word more than yours, I can make your heart beat.
Verse:
Plain park signs, reflected rain.
I chase the light to the path.
It's tempting me to wash up beside your feet on the grass.
White words that printed "love" on the floor with the chalk.
As we hide in the day from the night and the hawk.
Chorus:
Can you tell with your dreams, oh your heart is asleep?
Take my word more than yours, I can make your heart beat.
Reddened hearts reveal the truth while they're shy not to replete.
Swimming lost in the dark in cold waters too deep.
Chorus:
Can you tell with your dreams, oh your heart is asleep?
Take my word more than yours, I can make your heart beat.

Let Go
03:52
|
|||
|
Verse:
The Morning shone in through the window lit that spark in your eye.
Knowing that you're leaving way too soon it got to much to say goodbye.
Chorus:
It's happening slowing now I think, I don't even know.
I'm watching my back holding on to your hand, it's time again to let go.
Verse:
Summing up the past four months now, i've left so much behind.
Another stage has passed me by now like a dream in my mind... in my mind.
Chorus:
It's happening slowing now I think, I don't even know.
I'm watching my back holding on to your hand, it's time again to let go.
Verse:
The morning shone in through the window, lit that spark in your eye.
Knowing that your leaving way too soon,
It got too much to say goodbye.

Stealing
02:54
|
|||
|
Verse:
I stole the wings from a big blue butterfly
So i'd float and I floated up I just fluttered on by.
I stole the gun from a wooden soldiers back
So i'd shoot and I shot down my foes with a deadly attack.
Chorus:
We'll keep on stealing, but there's no healing for what's been taken away.
Verse:
I stole the time from a watchman's left wrist
So i'd freeze and I froze to give time for the things that i've missed.
I stole the voice from an angels blessed throat.
So i'd sing and I sung through the night with the songs that I wrote.
Chorus:
We'll keep on stealing, but there's no healing for what's been taken away.
Ba ba ba da da ba ba,
Ba ba ba da da ba ba
Verse:
I stole the oar from a tribesman's canoe so I paddled down the river so blue.
I stole the drum from a local parade so I banged and I banged to be heard far away.
Chorus:
We'll keep on stealing, but there's no healing for what's been taken away.
Ba ba ba da da ba ba,
Ba ba ba da da ba ba.

No Less Colours
03:53
|
|||
|
Verse:
Sadness falls when the colours drain away from all it was and the fields are left as white.
Its not when colours matter to me when there's beauty in sight.
Chorus:
Can you breathe the colours, can you breathes them back.
Can you breathe the colours back to me?
Verse:
To see just what I am in the fields of grass as we lay
Whilst turning on a shadow as the light turns black to grey.
You can't break the promise that you'd sing this one with me, that you'd sing this one for me.
Chorus:
Can you breathe the colours, can you breathe them back.
Can you breathe the colours back to me?
So hold both my hands and we'll colour with our minds
To what we both want it to be.
Verse:
Washed down sensitivity, diluting for the cause
Bleeding out all the colours to be much more than it was.
Broken empty pallets watch the gaps fill up with dust
Show my eyes who is their maker the only thing I trust.
Chorus:
Can you breathe the colours, can you breathe them back.
Can you breathe the colours back to me?
So hold both my hands and we'll colour with our minds
To what we both want it to be.
Verse:
We're not so different as you think both you and I, days by my side, fill the gaps within my life.
Chorus:
Can you breathe the colours, can you breathe them back.
Can you breathe the colours back to me?
So hold both my hands and we'll colour with our minds
To what we both want it to be.

Free Admission

Verse:
Oh the moon is big and bright and yellow tonight.
I can almost touch it to build castles with its sand
I have my sleeping bag and here's my little flag
I have conqured the sky and all that sits within.
Chorus
Flawed in many ways though perfect to me
We'll make this sky our stage and we can make believe
and all the stars we'll never need we'll never need
Cos' tonight's admissions free.
Verse:
Easy though it seems this ideally makes my scene to share with you the dark and all that holds me back.
The cricket and his band take requests on demand
You can choose the first song, and I will choose the last.
Chorus
Flawed in many ways though perfect to me
We'll make this sky our stage and we can make believe
and all the stars we'll never need we'll never need
Cos' tonight's admissions free.
Easy though it seems this ideally makes my scene to share with you the dark and all that sits within...
