Where You Lay
03:44
|
|||
|
Growing old is a part of life
It's just the part that we don't like
You live and die
You laugh and cry
You're best to get back on your bike
You go to school
You break the rules
You learn the best way to use the tools
You get some land
You quit your band
And one day you wake up
Is this what I had planned?
Wash it all away
Cos nothing's here to stay
Peace is where you lay, lay
Peace is where you lay
When I was young
So highly strung
I never truly knew when I was having fun
But now I'm old
My toys are sold
I think I understand
They're worth their weight in gold
I'm making plans
I'm shaking hands
I'm kissing babies' brows
I'm waving at the fans
But I realise
That what's in your eyes
Is all I ever needed to win the prize
Wash it all away
Cos nothing's here to stay
Peace is where you lay, lay
Peace is where you lay

Coffee
03:33
|
|||
|
I don't serve no coffee
I don't pour no beer
I don't photocopy
I have no career
I don't build no houses
I don't fix no cars
I don't stitch no trousers
I don't stitch no scars
When I grow up I want to
Make music every day
And if I make no money
I guess I'll have no place to stay
I don't take no orders
I don't close the till
I don't guard no borders
I don't work the mill
I don't have a family
I don't have a friend
I don't have a lover
But love my life no end
When I grow old I want to
Make music every day
And if no one will listen
Must be 'cos I've nothing to say

Falling
03:22
|
|||
|
Let me catch your eyes in the fading light
Glowing with the embers dancing through the night
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Take me on a journey to a place you know
I'm smiling with the sun but like the rain and snow
I'm falling, falling, falling, falling
Paint a pretty picture and you've got me sold
I don't need a ring cos like the price of gold
I'm falling, falling, falling, falling
All the night I'm dreaming of the love we make
But always in the moment just before I wake
I'm falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling

These Patterns
03:22
|
|||
|
When I lay down next to you at night
I wonder endlessly
When I find you no longer in sight
Still feel you next to me
Fills my mind with peace
Chills my spine, my feet
When I hear these voices from within
I long to free them
When I draw these patterns on your skin
I hope you see them
Come to life in dreams
Nothing's as it seems
On your skin I draw these patterns
Come to life in dreams
On your skin I draw these patterns
Fills my mind with peace

Five
02:29
|
|||
|
It's that time of year again
Questions on your mind
Should we be together still
Or are we out of time
You can give me your two cents
I will give you mine
You can give me one reason
But I will give you five
I like you, you like me
You're a bird, I'm a bee
It's so great, to be alive
One two three four five
Love is not a complex thing
You may disagree
Boil down to basics
And we're left with you and me
We could read a thousand books
Live a thousand lives
But after that the take home points
That I can count are five
I like you, you like me
You're a bird, I'm a bee
It's so great, to be alive
One two three four five
And if it comes that rainy day
When there's nothing left to say
And nothing left to do
No more silly games to play
No more plans to run away
I will still love you
It's one thing I can do
Such a busy world today
It's all too much for me
People have a lot to say
And who should we believe
Take your fifty shades of grey
Turn them black and white
Take out nine of every ten
And you'll be left with five
I like you, you like me
You're a bird, I'm a bee
It's so great, to be alive
One two three four five
One two three four five

Wait and See
03:12
|
|||
|
Time to be old
Knees and shoulders feeling cold
I need a holiday
Time to spend some time away
You carry on but...
I'll wait and see
I'll wait and see
Go as you please
But I'll wait and see
Make a new start
Find a place to leave your mark
The time has come to define yourself
So leave your desired up on the shelf
And you'll go far but...
I'll wait and see
I'll wait and see
Go as you please
But I'll wait and see

Rose Garden
03:09
|
|||
|
I don't need a rose garden
A rose garden can not replace a friend
I believe that you pretend
Your rose garden will bring a happy end
I don't need a diamond ring
A diamond ring is not a perfect thing
Love and music make me sing
But I don't sing over a diamond ring
I don't need no wealth and fame
No wealth and fame can bring an end to pain
I just need my health today
And then tomorrow I'll be on my way
I don't need a man to hold
A man to hold until I'm grey and old
I won't need to brace the cold
To find the marketplace where they are sold

Better
03:28
|
|||
|
Stopping to say hi is better than walking straight by
A raincloud in the sky is better than a tear in my eye
Making a new start is better than breaking my heart
Find a place to stay that's better than running away
There's a light that leads you
All the way into my arms
They're the ones that need you
In the storm before the calm
Only love will lead you
All the way into my arms
A happy thought of you is better than a shallow point of view
A smile on your face is better than it going to waste
A slump in my bed is better than a gun to my head
Hoping for the best is better than laying it to rest
There's a light that leads you
All the way into my arms
They're the ones that need you
In the storm before the calm
Only love will lead you
All the way into my arms

Smile
02:55
|
|||
|
When I wake up in the morning
Find you next to me
I pretend that I'm asleep but smile secretly
Oh, now that you're gone I'm cold
Starting to feel so old
Weak in the bones
But I'll stay strong
If I still sing your song
Now I wake up in the morning
I've no place to be
I put on a brave face but the smile has left me
Oh, now that you're gone I know
Why people feel so cold
A stranger at home
But I'll get along
If I still sing your song

Going to Mars
02:46
|
|||
|
Outta the way
I'm going to Mars
To get over you
And be with the stars
What would you do
If I never came back home
Outta the way
I'm off to the moon
I'm running away
Like the dish with the spoon
What would would you do
If I went off on my own
We used to be good friends
But now that seems to have come to an end
We made it work before
But I don't know
Anymore
Calling to say
I made it to Mars
I'm missing your face
But kissing the stars
I'm outta the race
The rats and the rules are long gone
Calling to say
I'm safe on the moon
It's cold in the shade
But warm in my room
I'm missing your face
But whistling my new tune
We used to be good friends
But now that seems to have come to an end
We made it work before
But I don't know
Anymore

Sigh
02:42
|
|||
|
Sigh, every waking moment I
Should be lying by your side
Never need to say goodbye
Sigh, in the morning when I rise
In the evening when I cry
All these days they pass me by
All I wanted was a girl
And I was lucky to have you
But every time I thanked the world
I knew that one day I'd be through
Through with you
Or you'd be through with me
Sigh, there's a place the sun still shines
In the corner of my mind
Lately it's been hard to find
Cos every night I close my eyes
I still want to dream of you
But all I see beyond my pillow
Are all the things I have to do
Not with you
It's not to do with you
Sigh, in the morning when I rise
In the evening when I cry
All these days they pass me by
All I wanted was a girl
And I was lucky to have you
But every time I thanked the world
I knew that one day I'd be through
Through with you
Or you'd be through with me
As the case turned out to be

Lullaby
01:45
|
|||
|
Sun has gone
Far away
All you see
Soon will be
Yesterday
The moon is out
With stars above
Shining down
Sending you
All their love
So close your eyes
Go to sleep
Memories
From today
Yours to keep
Your life will be
So wonderful
And you will grow
To be so
Beautiful
But now it's time
To say good night
Settle down
Safe and sound
Snug and tight
Rest your mind
Sweet dreams await
It's up to you
If they'll come true
When you wake
