Queen of Hearts
03:56

I don’t know that much about you
But I gotta believe
We’re all going up in a lift that is stuck going
To a sky we can’t see, yes a sky we can’t see
And as I walk through this dark hour
To check if it’s true
I need to explain, why I feel so lame
Cos there’s a change in you, yes there’s a change in you
This world just can’t go on, this world just can’t go on
Thinking it can take what it can’t replace
Oh this world just can’t go on
Oh this world just can’t go on
And as the days rush on past us
I’m fixed by your eyes
But I can’t understand, why you wouldn’t take my hand
You’re the Queen of hearts in disguise
Behind those beautiful eyes
This world just can’t go on, this world just can’t go on
Thinking it can take what it can’t replace
Oh this world just can’t go on
Oh this world just can’t go on
Half as much as I’m needing
Is twice as much as you gave
I need to feel now, that somewhere somehow
That I can still be saved, yes I can still be saved
This world just can’t go on, this world just can’t go on
Thinking it can take what it can’t replace
Oh this world just can’t go on
Oh this world just can’t go on

Open it Up
03:32
|

We took the journey, you packed for days
We mapped an outline, in different ways
We sang together, I couldn’t sing
You made us stop for coffee
Though we were late, I thought nothing
You said, open it up
Come on, open it up
Come on, open it up to the world
I caught your smiling, my story spun
I’d leaked the punch line out, as I had just begun
We didn’t notice, the miles as they passed by
The rain had started falling
Break lights front, I heard you sign
You said, open it up
Come on, open it up
Come on, open it up to the world
Don’t even speak about it, wrap and bind the strands
Till everyone is taught a way
Black out all the windows, bury, secrets in a chest
The painted smiles are patented, Chances to forget….
It shatters slowly, the cracks they stick
It shatters somewhere close, there’s no trick
Illusions opened up, so keep walking on
And now we reach the crossroads
All the signs have been torn down
But nobody lasts, we don’t want anything
And nobody sees, the last is everything
Open it up, just once to the world.

A Final Curtain
03:27
|

As the moon looked on, to a final song
And the grief, lay somewhere between
She would cock her head, every word that I said
As I slipped, between the dead sheets
Hold on little girl, there’s a million worlds
And the truth, is not where it seems
I was taught to sing, for a sultan or king
And to kneel at their feet in my dreams
All I meant to say,on an iced boneless day
fell away from my lips as I drank
I was holding you, as I fell to her tune
I exposed myself to the chance
Hold on little girl, there’s a million worlds
And the truth, is not where it seems
I was taught to sing, for a sultan or king
And to kneel at their feet in my dreams
There’s a bar somewhere, (hosts / holds ) an empty chair
As a reverent memory of me
And they toast my name, when they feel ashamed
For the tabs of the night are wiped clean
Hold on little girl, there’s a million worlds
And the truth, is not where it seems
I was taught to sing, for a sultan or king
And to kneel at their feet in my dreams

Hope
05:21

Hope is just the start, pull a thread it could fall apart
Subtle edge to the kiss, so faint, it touched the heart
Feel it slip away, one less touch, one less chance to say
As the light from the torch, grows dim and starts to fade
So alone in this room
Fading picture of you
Re-assured I was through
All the moments we choose
Nothing in your eyes, gave up clues to this slight disguise
Softened edges to words, I fear you couldn’t hide
Future thoughts they blur, memory past, only now occurs
To the statement of us, right now, and only here
So alone in this room
Fading picture of you
Re-assured I was through
All the moments we choose
But the music played on
To a jaded ‘our song’
Labelled me as so dumb
What’s the meaning of strong?
Driving in the night, you’re asleep, but still by my side
Where we’re heading unfolds, each turn, each lonely mile
Something still inside, not quite broken, it chose to hide
Maybe seas will awake, the chance, for hope to fly
Never gave up the fight,
Set a fire in the night
Shaking anger inside
As I watched the love die
Yet the best is to come
As a mighty crowd sung
Hands outstretched to the one
We are touched by the sun

Know Me
03:39
|

Been around, you say how much?
Could it be there’s something left to touch
You don’t know me, like you. Think you know me.
Someone else, to give away
A secret glance to upturn all I say
You don’t want to, like you, think you want to
Smile into the lens and don’t be shy
Call up all your friends, who can’t decide
Something never felt or almost tried
Catch the moment now, before it dies
Laugh a lot to hide the fact
Really didn’t matter now she’s back
You don’t know me, like you, think you know me
A change in stance, you’ve been away
Half a chance, I’ll take this game you play
But you don’t want to, like you, think you want to
Buy yourself a drink and toast my smile
Hold the hate you think, as your new style
Something never felt, or almost tried
Catch the moment now, before it dies
One by one, they tear me down
Piece by piece, you still can’t work it out
You don’t own me, like you, think you own me
Run around the world to say goodbye
Post the journey far and post it wide
Something we once felt, we had to hide
Catch the moment now, before it dies

Right Now
03:26
|

Hoping for a way,locked from thoughts, far from today
Looking up to the stars, cos right now I’ve got you
Right now I’ve got you
Thinking back to a time, way before you ever were mine
Anyone but me, cos right now Ive got you
Yes right now I’ve got you
Birds are singing and I know it’s true
I don’t know what I will do
Cos right now I’ve want you
Things won’t always be good, don’t keep hiding away with the rough
Looking up to the stars
Cos right now I’ve got you
Yes right now I’ve got you
It’s day that we have, yesterday just a day that has past
Looking backwards never
Right now I want you
Know that you will too
Birds are singing, I know it’s true,
But I don’t know what I will do
Cos right now I want you
Yes right now I want you
(Solo)
Time will tumble by past, hold my hand its a chance we can last
Nothing no one can part
Cos right now I want you
No one else will do
Birds are singing I know it’s true,
But I don’t know what I will do
Cos right now I love you
I want to always too
Cos right now I hold you
