Smile

And you’ll find me
In this prison
Though the door is never closed
I’m not open to decisions
My mind is predisposed
But you can’t see anything
A light into the dark
I can’t see anything
Except your Smile
And I fight it
Like I’ve always
Known I should do from the start
There’s an open
To this waking
And an aching in my heart
You could have known
I’d love you from the start
But I can’t see anything
Except your smile
Shall I run now?
Shall I hide now?
Shall I tear myself apart?
There’s awoken
It’s broken
And it tore into my heart
You wouldn’t see
The things that I feel
You don’t know anything
You don’t know anything
You don’t know anything
That is real

Here He Is!

Careful to the last
Now you know it’s right
Though you never left a mark
To be seen in lights
On the face of everything
There were always smiles
And everybody knows
You’re everything that glows
But for all that is gold
There’s a darkness
Ruby shines so defined
As a witness
And I hope that you now find
Nothing’s better left behind
But you know it’s not the same
Oh you know it’s not the same
Waiting for the change
Full of hopeful days
I was talking to myself
To make it pass away
For every second wasted
I have made a pledge
That you never have to live
The way I did myself
But for all that is gold
There’s a darkness
Ruby shines so defined
As a witness
I’ve been blamed
I’ve been shamed
I’ve been pissed on, told it’s rain
Now I’ve woken up to find myself a fitness
And I hope that you now find
Nothing’s better left behind
But you know it’s not the same
Oh you know it’s not the same today
Careful to the last
Now you know it’s right
Though you never left a mark
To be seen in lights
And on the face of everything
There were always smiles
Now everybody knows
You’re everything that glows
But for all that is gold
There’s a darkness
Ruby shines so defined
As a witness
I’ve been blamed
I’ve been shamed
I’ve been pissed on, told it’s rain
Now I’ve woken up to find myself a fitness
And I hope that you now find
Nothing’s better left behind
And you know it’s not the same
You’re too perfect to be blamed
In the dark we wore the shame
I don’t wear that coat today
I’m away

Don't Blink
02:38
|
|||
|
Waiting for the light to shine
He’d been waiting for it oh so long
He’d catch himself every now and then
Blowing clouds from the Sun
We could be the ones who finally sort it
We could be the ones who face the truth
But every time we look ourselves
In our eyes, we blink
So we could be the ones who lose
Change it as much as you can
Till everything is turned around
You could launch a rocket for the man
Who sits up there on his own
We could be the sole light shining up there
We could be the ones who sing the Song
If you wanna turn that dial
Just to find a smile
We could be the ones, who’s wrong?
We could be the mass of men
And women sat all alone
Whichever way the needle swings
We could be sat in the middle of these bones
We could be the ones who finally sort it
We could be the ones who face the truth
But every time we look ourselves
In our eyes, we blink
So we could be the ones who lose
We could be the ones who lose
Yes we could be the ones who lose

The Rocket May Crash
03:11
|
|||
|
Lost it all again
And you know we had a friend
But no one told you
He was going away again
She cast the light out high
She didn’t know quite why
Then ran away
On the other side of grace
You could go
Gone away
I’m going to run away
Rocket around the moon
To find my own place
Far away
We’re going so far away
The Rocket may crash
But I’m on my last crusade
Gordons cooking up some food
To pass on this is rude
To say the least that’s left
I don’t see now
What you may want
I know it’s right
I’ve been running again tonight
But we tossed it off
Now we’ve fallen down again
Let’s sing
Far away
Rocket to outer space
Everything that you do today
We might not find a place to stay
So if you just won’t say
And you know you must take away
Just don’t you waste that face
You’re beautiful everyday

The Vision
02:26
|
|||
|
When you’re calling
Out yourself
For the warnings
And your health
Keep on turning
In your mind
We are young
You keep pushing
For the past
And in pushing
You can’t last
As it’s dawning
You don’t see
The Sun will arise without you
When you’re finding all your friends
Have gone hiding
Around the bends
Don’t keep flushing
There’s only you after all
You keep pushing
For the past
And in pushing
You can’t last
As it’s dawning
You don’t see
The Sun will arise without you
When you’re hoping
Things will change
In the morning
Before the day
Don’t go yearning
Life away from your grasp
Just start looking
To the chance
Keep on looking
Don’t avert your glance
There’s a vision
Becoming clear
Your eyes they will shine
Shine again
When you’re calling
Out yourself
Just call me

Solitude
03:14

She’s the girl of your dreams
But they’re not all it seems
They’re a nightmare
Wake in the dark
Screaming apart
Like she could care
It’s a day you could say
I could find an escape
That I’m owning
Everything else I left on the shelf
To go roaming
Oh, don’t get lost in it all
Hold me, just hold me
Don’t fall
And the way they all look
Like they don’t give a fuck
You’re holding on
Every 3rd night, another daft little song
Though you’re black and you’re blue
And you’re torn red right through
Now you’re bleeding
No one could see
She’s the girl of your dreams
That you’re needing
Oh, don’t get lost in it now
Don’t forget somehow
He’s the man of your dreams
But it’s not all it seems
When you’re crying
No one can see
Sometimes inside
You are dying
So just pick yourself up
Like he’s shit out of luck
As you’re holding the gun
Waking to say
So perfect a day
I can run now
So I run
Oh, there’s some space for you now
Someday, it’s just someday
Don’t hold out now

The Cuckoo Calls
02:34
|
|||
|
Mystical weird, with a creepy long beard
The Master he steps through the halls
Don’t let your head bow
He hunts for the cowed
Pretends he’s a friend to the small
He can see you
See straight through you
He will use you
Don’t give him chance
Or you’ll dance to his will
And his evil befalls
Sat in rows, silent he knows
How to pick out the wheat from the Chaff
Grinds you down, offers his gown
As he keeps you to stay after Maths
He can see you
See straight through you
He will use you
Don’t have a chance
Can’t avoid his stern glance
You’re a boy afterall
Hate in the darkness
Lie still in the darkness
Pray for the morning
Hearing the steps
Wet the bed
To avoid what is next
Mystical weird, with a creepy long beard
The paedophile skips through the halls

Christ Almighty it’s Keira Knightly
In love again
Looking tense, there’s no suspense
Just that look again
Keep looking like the past
Poignant to the last
I Know
As an actress of this class
So who am I to ask
Are you bored?
Oh my god, I’m so in love
Will love again?
Can’t see past, all the costumes and glass
And the Slow accent
Keep looking like the past
Poignant to the last
I Know
As an actress of this class
So who am I to ask
Are you bored?
Christ Almighty it’s Keira Knightly
In love again
Looking tense, there’s no suspense
Just that look again
Keep looking like the past
Poignant to the last
Yes I Know
She’s top still of the game
So who am I to say?
I don’t know
Christ Almighty it’s Keira Knightly
In love again

Oh Lawds
02:11

Oh Lord, gotta get out of this
If it’s all I can do
Oh Lord, Give me a final kiss
If I say I’m with you
Help me, help me now
Never thought I would try
Help me, Help me now
I said, oh Lord, give me a sign you’re there
Faith is something I lose
Save me, Show me there’s anything
What did this ever prove?
Help me, Help me
I don’t see any truth
Show me, something else
Don’t just say life is cruel
I’m running out, out of my excuse
Oh Lord, Isn’t there anything?
Miracles are old hat
Oh now, save me from everything
Marvin wouldn’t do that!
Help me, Help me please
See I’m trying to change?
Love me, Love my pleas
I said, Oh Lord, signs are not everything
Could you just cure me now?

A Song For The Kids

What will you do without her now?
What will you do without her now?
Just what you do
Now it’s only up to you
What do you do without her now?
What will you do without him now?
What will you do without him now?
Just what you do
Now it’s only up to you
What will you do without him now?
We’re all running out of time
Though we put it out of mind
Still the time is ticking memories from your mind
What will you do without the time?
What will you do without the time?
What will you do without us now?
What will you do without us now?
Just what you do
Now it’s surely up to you
What will you do without us now?
Just what you do
Learn from all the shit you knew
What will you do with all this now?
What will you do with all this now?
What will you do with all this now?
What will you do with all this now?

The Punch That You Fear
03:36
|
|||
|
What doesn’t like you now, it falls
And you feel like you don’t want it
And half your mind is gone
But oh you think
I can’t carry on
I’m taunted
What you know you’re riding
And it’s so exciting, watching
What we know, you’d fight it
On the whole you’re hiding, your chin
And all in the blues
Everyone, seemed just like you, distorted
And half the time confused
We may have been abused
But we’re wanted
What you know you’re riding
And it’s so exciting, watching
What we know, you’d fight it
On the whole you’re hiding, your chin
What doesn’t like you now, it falls
And you feel like you don’t want it
And half your mind is gone
But oh you think
I can’t carry on
I’m taunted
What you know you’re riding
And it’s so exciting, watching
What we know, you’d fight it
On the whole you’re hiding, your chin
What you know you’re riding
And it’s so exciting, watching
What we know, you’d fight it
On the whole you’re hiding, your chin
From the punch you fear
And you know it’s so near

Fall in the dark
No one presents
Just a spark, coming down
Rescue
That’s the risk you take
That no one will hear you crying
Then the hopes and the dreams
Maybe cut into streams
As they flow away
On another sea
The sun
Oh yes The sun you know it’s shining
All I want is to be free
From this life
You gave to me
So we can rescue the Sun
And shine on the one that I see
Sometimes we both make mistake
Over and over again
And we smile and we make our excuses
For them
There’s a set out routine
We can follow in sleep we will walk on again
Till the hate in your heart
Is reserved at the start
Just for me and myself
And for all I set apart
But the world wouldn’t work like that
And I know I’m free
All I want is to be free
And this
We got for free
And we can rescue the Sun
Shine on the one that I see
That is someone to me
Somebody for me
It’s the love that I see

Let The Others Shine
02:33
|
|||
|
I had followed in a precipice
Let the others shine
Into the light they find
Call the other restaurant
And let them know you’re mine
I’ll be there just in time
I failed to recognise
Most of the time
Everything that you ever did
To let the others shine
They Shine
Everything you ever said
I thought that it was mine
To a golden eye
Call the other Valentine
And let him know you’re mine
And his card is in the fire
I was following something else
Most of the time
I never knew what it was
To let the others shine
They Shine
So call the other restaurant
And let them know you’re mine
Into his eyes you’ll shine
I was following something else
Most of the time
I could never really recognise
To let the others shine
They Shine
Just Shine

My Palindrome

My Palindrome, My Palindrome
I want you forwards and then backwards all alone
My Palindrome, My Palindrome
I want you forwards and then backwards for my own
If there’s something that you see
And you feel that it might be me
Then turn it back around and check the front
Yet I feel that we could find
All the happiness behind
Behind the Palindrome
My Palindrome, My Palindrome
I want you forwards and then backwards for my own
My Palindrome, My Palindrome
I want you backwards and then forwards all alone
Now there’s something that I see
Yet I know it could be me
When I’m looking at myself I just see you
Now there’s nothing inbetween
Though it’s slow, it just may seem
My loving little lovely Palindrome
My Palindrome, My Palindrome
I want you forwards and then backwards for my own
My Palindrome, My Palindrome
I want you forwards and then backwards all alone
If there’s someone that you see
Make it surely to be me
Turnaround, you’ll see me all the time
Now it’s handy when you dream
Either way we are a team
I love you all the time My Palindrome
We’ll live together soon My Palindrome
A Happy Home together Palindrome
I love you always now My Palindrome
