01 - HomebreakersGood morning day, how do you do
I wonder - what will you do for me?
I should be on my way, I should be earning pay,
I should be all the things that I'm not -
And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home,
Like my Brother has too - gotta leave to get out of this view,
You see they, tell you to move around -
If you can't find work in your own town.
A Man Of Great PromiseI bought the paper yesterday
And I saw the obituary
And I read of how you died in pain
Well, I just couldn't understand it
If I could of changed that
Then Lord knows I'd do it now
But there is no going back
A Solid Bond In Your HeartFeelin' is a word I cant explain
At least not in words that are plain
To make it easy to express
Ill try to do my best to hit you where it counts
I just wanna build up a solid bond in your heart
Yeah, a solid bond in your heart, aha
I am fueled by the idea
A Woman's SongHush, little baby, don't you cry
Mama's gonna buy you a nursery rhyme
And if that don't send you to sleep
Mama's gonna have to find the key
All of our worries are not our choice
Someone sees to that, I know not why
Things that we've worked for - they started to sell
Now Heaven is for angels and Earth is hell
All Gone AwayThe wind blows whispers down the street
Having free reign with the town so bleak
Like everything else, it's all gone away
The Town Hall clock gives forth its chime
For no one there to ask the time
Like everything else, they've all gone away
All Year RoundOur eyes meet across the floor
We don't have to say much more
Lets take a chance on it
Say you'll be mine till spring
We kiss on crowded streets
We kiss every time we meet
Who knows how it will go
Stay here till summer comes
AngelIf I could I'd give you the world
Wrap it all around you
I won't be satisfied with just a piece of your heart
You're my angel
Oh, angel
You're my angel
Oh, angel
Blood SportsWho takes the heart from a stag
Who gets a hard-on with blood on their hands
Who strips the wonder of life
When they don't have the right
But they say it's fair game
And they won't feel no pain
As we feel no shame
Boy Who Cried WolfAs the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earth
I lie awake at nights and, think about me
All those usual things like what a fool I've been
I curse the awful way, that I let you slip away
For what was forged in love, is now cooling down
With only myself to blame for playing that stupid game
I thought I need only call and you would run
But that day you never showed honey, well I sure learnt
Confessions Of A Pop-GroupCheap and tacky bullshit land
Told when to sit don't know where you stand
Too busy recreating the past
To live in the future.
Poor relations to Uncle Sam - bears no relation to the country man
Too busy being someone else to be who you really are.
Shitty plastic prefab town
Fairy TalesThe giant towers over all
But from close distance, he don't seem that big at all
In fact he's no more than you or I
Though we give him far more power than his size
Could such a land ever exist
Where those so many could be rendered oh so weak
And still be listening by the phone
To buy shares in things that we already own
FrancoiseThe teardrops in my eyes are now just words upon some paper
Imitating poetry that comes to my time later
Oh, Francoise
Could it be the time changing
Oh, Francoise
Please don't get me wrong, I meant it
Have You Ever Had It BlueHave you ever chased the night
That sailed in front of you
On a boat that's bound for hope
But left you in the queue
With your shouting waving
Taunting flaunting friends as crew
Telling you that every lie
You ever heard was true
Headstart For HappinessWhen I find you waiting hours, oh
You're there to save my life for our obvious goal
We've got a head start for happiness
For our part, guess we must be blessed
For this feeling to be so strong
Tell me is that so wrong?
The space between us for days has been so far
How She Threw It All AwayOf all the things that money can buy
Freedoms never cheap
But all the things she needed in life - she had no need to keep.
Of all the things she asked of me
None were ever fun
And I'm no good at acting while - the cameras on the run.
Don't you know - she threw it all away
It Didn't MatterI remember all the early days
Trying to think of the right things to say
I didn't want you to think I was like the rest
Who think they own you just because you've laid with them
It didn't matter - really didn't matter
It didn't matter now we are together
There are crystal hearts just waiting to be smashed
It's A Very Deep SeaI'll keep on diving til I reach the ends,
dredging up the past to drive me round the bendz,
what is it in me that I can't forget
I keep finding so much that I now regret.
But no, on I go down into the depths
turning things over that are better left
dredging up the past that has gone for good
trying to polish up what is rotting wood.
My Ever Changing MoodsDaylight turns to moonlight - and I'm at my best
Praising the way it all works - gazing upon the rest
The cool before the warm
The calm after the storm
I wish to stay forever - letting this be my food
But I'm caught up in a whirlwind and my ever changing moods
Bitter turns to sugar - some call a passive tune
But the day things turn sweet - for me won't be too soon
Party ChambersBack in the party chambers
Laughter, records loud
I guess my guests are alright
They won't miss me for awhile
'Cause I need to be alone
Let me sink in sadness
'Cause I can't forget her
Shout To The TopI was half in mind - I was half in need,
And as the rain came down - I dropped to my knees and prayed
I said "oh Heavenly thing - please cleanse my soul,
I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all".
I was halfway home - I was half insane,
And every shop window I looked in just looked the same
I said send me a sign to save my life
'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in
Spin' DriftingI was hoping to be found alive
In a pool of lies and an ocean of tears
I was looking for a ship, ahoy
I was waiting, bottom line, for a miracle, oh, oh
All I hope is that when they find me
I have the good sense to say a prayer
For all that is dear to me
Sure Is Suredry your eyes
they will call
sure is sure
we'll be one
as you know it's been a
long time coming
i don't feel the
Sweet Loving WaysCan it be a part of me has changed a lot
That you have come into my life and brought so much?
With your sweet loving ways, I don't want to change
The sweet loving ways, let me just say
That your sweet loving ways have saved
I remember watching you from far away
The Cost Of LovingThe cost of lovings on the line again
Honey, that just won't do
As we turn another blind eye
Oh, they steal it from you
But the feelings coming back
Guess it always will
No matter how hurt you've been
The LodgersNo peace for the wicked - only war on the poor
They're batting on pickets - trying to even the score
It's all inclusive - the dirt comes free
And you can be all that you want to be
Oh an equal chance and an equal pay
But equally there's no equal pay
There's room on top - if you tow the line
The Paris MatchEmpty hours
Spent combing the street
In daytime showers
They've become my beat;
As I walk from cafe to bar
I wish I knew where you are;
Because you've clouded my mind
And now I'm all out of time
The Piccadilly TrailWhat you asked for is what I gave
No questions stopped at and nothin' saved
From my scarcity of presence to my rarely seen bed
I took you in hopin' that you'd be a friend
Now I'm so scared of the weeks ahead
What I dreamed of I saw in you
I needed someone that I could trust too
Walls Come Tumbling DownYou don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing it
I know we've always been taught to rely
Upon those in authority -
But you never know until you try
How things just might be -
